About the route

SN1 2ED

County Ground

This is a great route along mostly traffic-free cycle paths with a few quiet residential streets.  This ride can be enjoyed by everyone and is suitable for novice riders, children and single rider adapted bikes. The route is flat with just one short incline and takes in some of the best cycling routes Swindon has to offer. Boasting green spaces the route explores the path to old Wiltshire and Berkshire Canal. Adaptive cycles can be borrowed if required, but these are first-come-first-serve so please contact us to book in advance. These bikes include hand bikes, recumbents, tandems, side by side tandems and trikes. Please contact Becky at [email protected]
