コートウォーターでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

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.

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.

An example of 'brutalist' architecture in a concrete curly-wurly bridge over the M4 motorway

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!

It was lovely nd slow pace as with child seat at the back and another child on bike with me.
