Helter Skelter to Three Trees via Ogbourne St George

This 12 mile route starts at Coate Water Park. Winding through the country park to the "Helter Skelter" M4 bridge and onto the track bed of the Swindon to Marlborough Railway (now the National Cycle Network path 45). The route passes the residential area of Chisledon, part of the old Ridgeway and onto Ogbourne St George. We return on the old Marlborough to Chisledon Railway Line. The Three Trees cafe makes a great place to stop before returning back to Coate Water Country Park.

An interesting route exploring some of Swindon's rich Railway heritage, lovely oak forests and part of an ancient complex network of tracks that have existed since Neolithic times.

Cycling on easy cycle trails and quiet roads
