After a busy day of uploading content, I am pleased to announce that the Calne unit is now available to download in the Explore Wiltshire app.

As part of this, I have made sure that the Calne Wordfest Tale Trails app is linked, so users can reach trails such as the Calne Art Trail and Evie's Book Swap Network directly.

While there is a lot of content on the app now, it is still a work in progress. So, continue to pop ideas in a comment or PM me your (sensible!) suggestions. Thank you to those that have given suggestions!

Very much looking forward to having this new avenue to highlight the fantastic town we live in.
