Calne to High Penn Loop
Nice easy route starting with the Wilts & Berks canal, then along Abberd Brook - lots of opportunities to spot a variety of water birds and even otters have been seen. You walk up out of the town and into the countryside where the birdlife moves to red kites and buzzards. An amble through High Penn nature reserve with great views sees you walking down and back into Calne.
