Walking for Health
Starting from the Church this walk allows us to explore the lovely grounds of the Lawns, the historic buildings of Swindon's Old Town, the Old Railway Path, and we can even get as far as the Town Gardens and Queens Park. We walk at a leisurely pace but just enough to get you out of breath and ready for that cup of tea or coffee on our return to the Church. Then we have the opportunity to socialise for half an hour or so while you catch your breath, meet new friends and plan your next outing.
