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.
After making your way back to the pavement at Curzon Street, take the pedestrian crossing over to High Street, heading north.
As you reach the top of High Street, turn left and you will soon see Calne's very first piece of public art, a sculpture known as, Two Pigs, at Phelps Parade.
The ‘Two Pigs' piece was commissioned in 1978 by Calne Civic Society and made by local sculptor, Richard Cowdy. The subject reflects Calne's long-standing association with the C&T Harris business which dominated the town for over a hundred years until its factories were demolished c.1984.
