Croft Trail
Get your off-road fix on the edge of urban Swindon.
The waymarked trails at Croft Country Park offer both a short family/beginner off-road trail (moderate/blue grade), and a longer trail (difficult/red grade) with features for the more experienced cyclist or those wishing to improve their skills. The trails can be combined to form a longer ride or just ride them several times for a more intense workout.
Open all year round and free to use, the trails are easily accessible. They are within a mile of Swindon centre and train station plus there’s free car parking at the start. There are even a few picnic tables should you wish to stay for a while.
How to get there:
The Croft Trail is off the small roundabout in Pipers Way (B4006) – opposite Nationwide’s HQ building (SN3 1TX). As you enter the site there is a mini roundabout, turn right for the public car park (please note that parking duration is restricted at certain times, longer term parking can sometimes be found by turning left at the mini roundabout instead). As you turn into the car park note the ramp & wooden bollards to your left – the start of the trail can be found by going up this ramp and following the signs, heading straight across the main path.
The Croft Trail is also accessible from Swindon Train Station.
Built entirely by volunteers from
