This 2.5 mile walk will take you around the wonderfully diverse art in Calne, taking in both the urban environment of the town centre and some of the green spaces along the Abberd Brook and Castlefields park.
The Calne Blue Plaque Trail is a fascinating walk around the centre of the town in the Heritage Quarter visiting ten points of interest.
To view the next piece of art on this trail, head out of Castlefields through the wonderfully decorative gates. This leads out to Patford Street, where you will take a right towards the Marden House Centre and a left to walk the path between the Wharf sheltered housing and the canalised section of the River Marden.
Walk past Calne Town Hall and cross Cox's Hill to The Strand and continue onward to Market Hill at Curzon Street. Here you can ascend the steps, or walk around the corner to the incline.
*Three Indian bean trees were planted, at the suggestion of Cllr Eric Porter, in 2000 to celebrate the twinning of Calne with Charlieu, Eningen and Caln, Pennsylvania. The trees are situated in front of Bank House, outside the Lansdowne Strand Hotel, and on Market Hill. *
Each tree was originally surrounded by a special cast-iron tree grill with squirrel motif, sadly only the grille at the Calne-Charlieu tree at Market Hill remains. Letters carved into slate celebrating the anniversaries of the twinning.
How long this final grill will last is anyone's guess.
