Where To Enjoy The Snow 

The best places to sledge, ski and snowboard in Swindon
 
Enjoying the Snow in Swindon
It's finally here. The big dumping of snow that's been forecast all week.
 
And with nearly all the schools shut because of it, what is there to do?! 
 
So here's the best places to go sledging, skiing and snowboarding in Swindon - most probably all weekend!
 
Just remember to take care if you're enjoying the snow and sliding near barbed wire fences!  
 
The Lawn
 
Sledging Swindon at The Lawn Swindon
 
One of the best and slippiest slopes in Swindon - and just steep enough for everyone to have to go.
 
 
Coate Water
 
Coate Water Swindon sledging
 
One of our favourites - see vid link below. Two slopes available - both great for picking up speed!
 
 
Liddington Hill
 
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!
