Route rating

0 stars (0) Reviews

Join us on a loop around some of the beautiful green spaces of south Swindon, including the Old Town railway path and Wilts & Berks canal.

Most of the route will be on traffic-free cycle paths, a mix of compact gravel paths and tarmac. There will be a few short sections of low traffic connecting streets.

We'll stop at the Coop in Wichelstowe to get some ice creams (or we can divert to Hall & Woodhouse/ Waitrose if preferred!).

Under 16's must wear helmets, and we strongly recommend adults wear helmets too. We recommend bringing a drink. Please dress for the weather conditions.

We never leave anyone behind
