Chippenham to calne Cycle Route (OLD RAILWAY)7 Miles of excellent countryside, join at Monkton park and you can walk all the way to Calne, if yuor energentic then keep on walking to Yatesbury.
BLACK BRIDGE.
When the railway line was built a 10inch pipe was laid from CHippenham to Clane to transport water for the steam engines. loads of pipes and valves can still be see along the 7 miles walk
