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.

Back on Church Street make your way to The Strand and ascend the steps to view our next installation, The Head.
In 2000, the then Town Mayor initiated an international competition for a sculpture, to celebrate the millennium, which was won by the sculptor Rick Kirby. The theme of the sculpture reflects both the past and the future of Calne in symbolic terms.
The sculpture was unveiled by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II during her visit to Calne on 7 December 2001.
