This walk takes you across parts of picturesque Coleshill Park. Walk partly along an enclosed bridleway and partly across open countryside thanks to the Open Access legislation. Look out for the folly along the way. Visit the National Trust website

A great place for a bit of a roam and somewhere safe to run off the lead. This is a firm favourite with the local hounds. There's a small lake with ducks to chase and somewhere for a splash on a hot day.

Don't upset the fishermen!

This Trail takes you through the "Great Wood" and through parts of Stanton Park which is one of Swindons undiscovered gems. This trail is highly recommended in the hot summer months 

Enjoy some spectacular views along this trail. 3 separate starting points depending on how energetic you are feeling. SP1 starts 208 feet above sea level so can be a bit blustery! but worth it for the view.
