Wantage (2nd picture) - correct - Chris
Melksham (5th picture) - correct - also Chris
Chippenham (6th Picture) - correct - John R

But no Bradford-on Avon, no Trowbridge, I'm afraid!

Number 3 Taunton

Both correct .. which leaves just the fourth picture to be identified.   A well know enough spot, and very much in the area that FGW covers .... just not on the railway  ;)

Looks like the river that runs through Christ Church university's grounds by the Botanic Gardens in Oxford? A lovely place for a stroll...

Exactly right ... in location, and in describing it as a lovely place.
