    In spring and autumn mostly Sundays I'll walk from Chippenham to Calne grab a coffee and snacks sit in castle park for a bit then walk home. I think it's the perfect level walk for all ages.

      Thanks for your comment. It’s an ideal walk. I have cycled the full length there and back several times.

    Really enjoyed this video and never realised the old railway was now a 7 mile trek from Calne to Chippenham. Also had no clue as to the canal being so prominent in the town. Great history lesson also.

    Very nice thx Roland. What goods would have been unloaded?

      At Calne it would mainly have been live pigs for slaughter at the Harris Pork Factory. Plus other essential items for the town.

    Excellent video of Calne - having lived there for 20 plus years, I know this so well but still learned much that I didn't know

    It closed after a breach at Stanley over an aqueduct over the Marden in the early 1990's.

      It closed in 1914. I think you meant to type 1900s. Thank you for commenting.
