チゼルドンでののおすすめランニングルート

What I like about this beautiful walk is how the varying the sights and the general walk is, always a nice lil surprise every now and then when you do the round

A walk around the lake is always pleasant. Can be quite muddy at the top end in the winter/ when wet.

Great way to get out of Swindon town onto the fab cycle route to Marlborough and beyond. Bit steep, but not at all scary.

Coate Water country park has a nature reserve, woodland and lake - great for wildlife watching and post-ride picnics.

This friendly farm shop and cafe is very conveniently located at the Chiseldon end of the Chiseldon & Marlborough Railway Path. The staff is friendly and the food reasonably priced - I missed the cafe because of my inability to properly read signs 😓 In times of Covid they separated the Cafe from the Shop and the entrance to the Cafe is at the side (it is clearly signed, but I somehow missed it). Regardless, the Scotch egg with smoked bacon in the sausage wrapping was a revelation, and the resupply of fresh water a godsend on a particularly warm day. Thoroughly recommended!

Willow, ash and birch can all be found in the park's woodlands, with oak trees on higher ground. A fantastic park with nature trails, bird hides and family activities, this is a lovely place to walk through or simply visit. There are also good facilities, a cafe and BBQ hire.

This cement bridge is a mad-cap testament to an earlier generation's commitment to cycling infrastructure. Not one for those afraid of heights or fast-moving traffic!
