Green spaces

Swindon is incredibly lucky to have many beautiful parks and open spaces.

Things to enjoy:

  • Walks or summers days in Lydiard country park (which as well as a beautiful house and lovely grounds offers a treetop experience
  • A weekend junior and adult park run
  • The Radio 1 Big Chill Weekend
  • A chilli and cheese festival
  • Dog agility competitions and outdoor cinema and theatre!)
  • Shaw Forest country park
  • The Lawns
  • Stanton Park
  • Coate Water (which boats a rowing and sailing club, fishing, a nature reserve, crazy gold, a mini railway, a pitch & putt and a mindfulness garden)
  • Town Gardens.

There’s even a small urban sensory garden called Fishing for the Moon!  Lydiard park has a treetop experience.
