Calne, Wiltshire
Calne is an attractive town in Wiltshire - good for a stroll around when you're staying nearby on your large group holiday in the UK. It might be small, but the town has stacks of history, clearly evident in the the 17th century almshouses, the Heritage Quarter, centred around St Mary’s Church, and the Green on the banks of the River Marden, edged by historic buildings that once served as workshops for the prosperous woollen trade. It’s one of those places where all feels well in the world when the sun is shining; browse the independent shops and cafes, have a wander along the canal and through the river park where the townsfolk take their kids for a paddle.
One of Calne’s claims to fame is that the traditional ways of curing ham and bacon were invented here, but perhaps of more interest now is the Attwell Wilson Motor Museum. If your tum starts rumbling sit in the sunshine by the river at Fay’s Bistro, or go and have a bite to eat at The Lansdowne Strand Hotel.
