Swindon: Explore nature with these walking trails, maps and more

British Summer Time started this weekend, meaning the evenings get lighter which is a perfect excuse to get outside. Check out some of these fantastic walking routes in the Swindon area, including:

• Stanton Park (one-mile walk). A family-friendly stroll around the wonderful Stanton Park. It’s only a short walk but it packs in some lovely lakeside, woodland and countryside walking

• Barbury Castle (two walks of 1.25 miles and 8.5 miles). Plenty of history and lovely views on offer

• Lydiard Park (1.5-mile walk). It has a beautiful house, woodland, open grassy areas and a lake to enjoy. There is even a spot for a coffee afterwards at Lydiard Park Hotel and Conference Centre

• Coate Water (1.75-mile walk). Take a nice casual, circular walk around the lake at Coate Water Country Park

Swindon Travel Choices will also be launching three walking trails on 1 April, with a brand-new Pony Trail around Wroughton.

Wherever you are posted, you don’t have to do life or work alone.

The beauty of the Military Coworking Network is that connection isn’t limited to a building. Even if you’re miles from one of our physical hubs, you can still pull up a virtual chair and be part of our community.

We run regular free online sessions where you can join other military spouses and partners for a bit of focus, creativity or simply a friendly chat.

Here’s what’s happening in our virtual space this week.
