Swindon to Cirencester
18.64 miles (30 km)
This route follows National Cycle Route 45 from Wiltshire to Gloucestershire taking you through a lovely part of the Cotswolds. The route starts in Swindon Old Town and follows an off road cycle path into the countryside. A dismantled railway line takes you to Cricklade before more off road paths take you through Cotswold Water Park - the UK's largest water park with 133 numbered lakes.
An on road section then takes you into the finish point in Cirencester near the abbey grounds.
To continue your cycling around Swindon see our circular Swindon Cycle Route which visits several of the parks in the town.
