Overview

We will walk from the Calne terminus of the Wilts & Berks canal to the Chippenham terminus (bus station) using the former Chippenham to Calne railway line and Monkton Park. The walk is flat with no stiles but some muddy areas. Although this is marked as a leisurely walk there is a possibility of a faster pace than normal due to the terrain.

Having reached Chippenham you can use the regular Stagecoach 55 bus service back to Calne.  As most of the walk is off road there is no need to book.  Bring a snack and drink.  Plenty of coffee shops, toilets etc in Chippenham.
