Description
Situation Calne - Calne, the 'Town of Discovery' is situated in the heart of the Wiltshire countryside.

Modern day Calne benefits from a weekly market and various sports and leisure facilities. There is also a selection of shops and supermarkets, a library, public and private schooling for all ages. Just outside the town is the village of Cherhill. Here you will find Wiltshire's most dramatic White Horse carved on the chalk hillside below an ironage fort. A short drive away are the UNESCO Word Heritage Sites of Avebury, Silbury Hill, Stonehenge, Lacock Abbey and the Georgian City of Bath. A couple of miles away is Bowood House with beautiful gardens and luxury Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort.
