About the route

Starting point

Athletics Track, Swindon County Ground
Off County Road
Swindon
Wiltshire
SN1 2ED

County Ground

This is a great family friendly, easy going route along a mix of cycle paths and one short section on a quiet road. The route is flat with one short incline around 3 miles in and takes in some of the best cycling routes Swindon has to offer. Boasting green spaces the route explores the path to old Wiltshire and Berkshire Canal. In conjunction with the Council the County Ground has lots of bikes on offer to borrow for FREE. These bikes include mountain bikes, ladies bikes, kid bikes, hand bikes, recumbents, tandems, and trikes. Please contact Ben Humphrey at [email protected] / 01793 465404 for more information.
