Cherhill is pronounced cherril . The horse is made with chalk. And thank you, you walked very near to my son’s old house. We lived just up the hill from there. Where you walked down to the stream, we called that bit Piggy hill! The house with the thatch looks old but was built I think about 2000. I am glad to see they have paved the walk along the river, it used to be very muddy. You arrived at the Green from the south. So many new houses.
Wow, amazing to see Calne again. I grew up here over forty years ago, fond memories of playing down near the river catching Cray fish. We lived behind the old church , I think on Silver street. Love to go back again some day to see how it’s changed 👏🏽
Thankyou for showing Calne. We love it.
I have ancestors who lived there in the 17th century. Their surname was Cloud or Cloude. I believe they also lived in a place nearby called Southbroom.
Thanks for showing Calne. BTW Cherhill is pronounced "Cher ill" (a silent "h") which is carved out of the chalk escarpment. When you visited it was due for re-chalking, a process which is done by volunteers every couple of years, but was delayed due to covid. The memorial you passed going into a car park is for four young local men who died in an rad traffic accident.

It is very beautiful indeed. :)
Alice is perfectly right about re opening the pedestrianised area for cars. The congestion in Calne can be ridiculous and it's madness that what used to be the road isn't being utilised to solve, or at least ease, the problem.
The pedestrian section you suggested could be used for cars did in fact used to be the main road. The road came up the hill and then turned left through the narrow section where you noted the cars queueing. The current main road which forms the other side of the triangle was built in 1968.
