About

Calne South is a residential area on the southern edge of the market town of Calne. It primarily consists of housing estates built in the latter half of the 20th century, offering a mix of detached and semi-detached homes. The area is bordered by the A4 road to the north and open countryside to the south, providing a transition from the town centre to the wider Wiltshire landscape.

The grounds of the former Bowood House estate lie to the immediate southeast, with the area's western side marked by the River Marden. Local amenities include schools and shops centred along the Phelps Parade and Anchor Road. The presence of the historic Calne railway station building, though no longer in operational use, stands as a reminder of the town's past transport links.
