The Cricklade Country Way is a unique exciting scheme and has been planned over a number of years. The project will create a green recreational and wildlife corridor linking urban Swindon to Cricklade and the Cotswold Water Park. The Cricklade Country Way will start at Mouldon Hill on the northern edge of Swindon and when it is complete, as well as enjoying the Country Park, visitors will have a number of different ways to travel between Swindon, Cricklade and the Cotswold Water Park, none of which involve travelling by road |
