This half term, families can discover more of North Swindon as the Active Swindon Trails come to Haydon Wick!
The ‘North Swindon Fox Trail‘ is part of the Swindon Travel Choices Active Swindon Trails programme. It starts from the Haydon Centre and goes across some great local heritage, and historical sites, as well as places of natural beauty. It’s 2.3 miles, flat and buggy-friendly. Four legged family members will enjoy it too.
There’s a limited edition Fox badge available for the first 200 people to complete the trail, while everyone who completes one of the trails, is eligible for an entry into the season’s prize draw. One lucky winner per season will receive £100 gift voucher in the grand prize draw, while five runners-up prizes for each trail will also be given out. Residents can enter the prize draw online from the Swindon Travel Choices website, by scanning the QR code on the trail leaflets or by posting their entry form in the post box at the Haydon Centre when collecting a badge. The badges and prize draw entry close on New Year’s Day.
You can pick up an Autumn trails leaflet with a map and instructions from the Haydon Centre, Swindon’s core libraries (Central, West, North, Highworth and Park) and the Haydon Wick Parish Council offices. Residents can also download trail leaflets from the Swindon Travel Choices website.
The trail is one of three trails launched this autumn. The other 2 trails are
The Fish trail – a loop around Coate Water
The Butterfly trail – a linear route along the Old Town Railway Path.
3 brand new trails will launch for the Winter season on January 1st 2026.
