Becky's South Swindon Loop

Our ride takes us into Signal Way, the old site of Swindon Town Railway Station which closed to passengers in Sept 61, we then follow the railway tracks on their northward journey to Rushey Platt where we then turn left and start to follow Cycle paths back to Witchlestowe for Coffee, after our stop we make our through Witchelstowe and onto Pipers way to return to our start point.

This route takes you on a gentle tour of South Swindon using the recently Improved Old Town Railway Path and a section of the Southern Flyer

Much of the route is off road and therefroe traffic free; the surfaces are a mixture of tarmaced cycle path and good gravel trails. It is suitable for all bikes, but if you bring your road bike is should be shod with good tyres
