There is no question that Calne, nestled in the Marden Valley of North Wiltshire, is blessed with much fascinating history. While much development has occurred in recent history, those all important links to the wider countryside still remain.
It is this countryside that we will be exploring as we venture out of Calne to nearby Bremhill, the Bowood Estate, and the wider Castlefields green space.
We will, of course, encounter much history both from the built environment and the natural world as we explore this wonderful town and its countryside.
After a short introduction to the history of Calne, there is a selection of eight walks to choose from. Walks vary in length between less than a mile and up to 7 miles
- Walk One Calne Art Trail
- Walk Two Horsebrook Nature Trail
- Walk Three Abberd Brook and The Recreation Ground
- Walk Four Castlefields Park
- Walk Five The River, the Canal, and the Railway
- Walk Six Around Witch Plantation
- Walk Seven Around Morgan's Hill
- Walk Eight Bowood Circular
Each trail is clearly mapped with OpenStreetMap and has an information panel detailing: distance, time, terrain, start/finish location, and parking along with any relevant additional information.
