The Jewel of the South West: Family walks in Swindon

Swindon is one of the South West’s best kept secrets. Boasting tonnes of outdoor spaces and surrounded by beautiful countryside, it is the perfect base for family walking. Taking a little adventurer with you shouldn’t be daunting or stressful. It is a great bonding experience for both of you. Time outdoors benefits your mental and physical health and teaches your little one the magic and beauty of the great outdoors, magic that will stay with them for a lifetime.With the right clothing and equipment, a little bit of patience and plenty of snacks, you are guaranteed to have a brilliant time. Embrace the nappy explosions, the sudden downpours and the giant tantrums - it’s all part of the adventure. You will take something away from every walk you do and create memories for your children that they’ll take into adulthood.Blaze Trails is the UK’s parent and baby walking community.
