Savernake Forest

Reviewed By 5cruffy - Swindon, United Kingdom

Ignore the Postern Hill car park (busy) and head for Grand Avenue (signposted off A4 leaving Marlborough to the East at the top of the hill just past the hospital). There are so many footpaths from well surfaced through well trodden to rarely used. Try to visit the Saddle Oaks and Spider Oak at least (nearly 1,000 years old). The monument to George III is worth a short stop. There is a lovely Arboretum half way down the avenue on the right with small clumps of mainly pine varieties including Redwoods. If you visit in September/October, watch out for numerous pheasants and deer. Green woodpeckers can be seen if you're lucky. You can always find space away from other walkers. We use maps.me to find the paths and it hasn't let us down.

Badbury Hill

Reviewed By GraceB2025 - Bampton, United Kingdom

We saw this place online and thought we would visit on a warm day, what a lovely place it is, it’s pretty easy to find on a country road. It’s very beautiful and great for families. It’s very safe for young children to just run around, the parking is great and easy. The only thing I would say is it would be good to get a couple of benches or picnic tables around the park so people can sit and relax. Definitely will be going again for a summers walk.
