Discover Swindon’s Best-Kept Secret

On Sunday 15th September a 2 mile organised walk is taking place along the Western Flyer to increase awareness and use of this historic route.

The Western Flyer trail begins at Sheppard Street underpass, an ancient drove road, cuts under Great Western Way, then heads out west to peaceful green spaces alongside the River Way, a tributary of the River Thames.

Participants will discover how easy it is to make the journey from the town centre to West Swindon on foot (or by bike), avoiding the traffic, improving their fitness and saving money on fuel too.

The Western Flyer Wander, led by a small team of artists and volunteer walk leaders, invites locals to enjoy a walk along the route, stopping for fun and imaginative activities using the Western Flyer tricycle machine to generate stories and thoughts about the route.

There will be a lunch stop near the River Ray, so participants are encouraged to bring a picnic, and a chance to record and film thoughts and responses to the route using digital media equipment on board the CreateMobile.

Also during lunch participants will learn more about Swindon Travel Choices and the wealth of cycle and walking routes in Swindon, pick up information on walking for health and local walking groups and even do some blackberry picking and smoothie making! The walk will return to the start of the route by approximately 2.00 p.m.
