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.
2 hours free parking is available at the Church Street car park, also known as the Heritage Quarter car park. This is accessible from New Road. There is also 2 hours of free parking available at Sainsbury's.

Using the pedestrian crossing at the lights towards New Road, we move away from the town centre. Notice the Indian Bean tree, one of the trees celebrating Calne Twinning, more of which will be discussed in point 18. A wide variety of diverse art forms still await. Look at the railings at the front gardens of Carnegie Mews.
The theme of this metalwork reflects the nature and topography of the Wiltshire downs. They were designed by Calne Artists' Group member Peter Collyer and made by local blacksmith Arthur Cole.
