Where To Enjoy The Snow 

The best places to sledge, ski and snowboard in Swindon

 

It's finally here. The big dumping of snow that's been forecast all week.

 

So what is there to do?!! 

 

We haven't had a big snowfall since 2013, so now's a rare chance to go sledging, skiing and snowboarding in Swindon - most probably all week!

 

And here's the best places!

 

Just remember to take care if you're enjoying the snow and sliding near barbed wire fences!  

 

The Lawn

 

 

One of the best and slippiest slopes in Swindon - and just steep enough for everyone to have to go.

Coate Water

 

 

One of our favourites - see vid link below. Two slopes available - both great for picking up speed!

Liddington Hill

 

 

The steepest and longest hill of the lot. Best for skiing and snowboarding. Can be tricky to get to if the snow really starts coming down, though!

Clouts Wood

Wroughton

 

Always a popular spot when the snow starts falling - and wide enough for everyone. Just off the A4361 Devizes Road.

And if you haven't got a sled?

 

Try these people first. If they haven't got one, chances are no one has!
