The walk
This short circular route explores the open green spaces of Mouldon Hill Country Park, offering an easy, relaxed outing close to town.
The paths circle the attractive Amenity Lake and wander through grassy parkland, with wide skies and a calm, spacious feel throughout.
The walk also follows a stretch of the old Swindon Canal, now long since dried up but still traceable in the landscape.
It’s a pleasant little route for a gentle leg-stretch, with open views and the chance to spot birds around the water’s edge.

First-hand experiences
Toilets at Tawny Owl pub. Paths can get muddy. It is OK around the lake for buggies
Nice walk, around fields, the canal and lake. Dog was off lead the whole time.
Beautiful lake lots of walks off of the lake track eg Purton Woods and the Canal Walk.
A lovely hour dog walk. First time using the app and found my way around the route easily...
Very easy stroll around small lake leading to 3 big fields. Little part of the walk through very narrow and overgrown path, the rest of the walk easy and nice.
Not really suitable for wheelchairs but if you take a stroll around the lake only it is perfect. Walk is also easy to vary as you can take slightly different paths.
Nice walk. Breezy but still a nice warm day. Slight mud in parts but there has been recent rain.
