Lydiard House, Lydiard Park, Swindon; The house and its 260 acre (105 hectare) estate were bought by Swindon Corporation from the then owners in 1943 for, as best I can recall reading, a four-figure sum. It must be worth millions now. It is a Palladian house with a history extending back centuries. More can be read here http://www.swindon.gov.uk/leisuresport/parksandgardens/parkslydiard/leisure-parkslydiardhouse.htm and here http://www.swindonweb.com/leis/placlydi0.htm The prime mover behind the purchase was David Murray John, Town Clerk of the Council from 1939 to 1974. See his memorial here https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/281394
Footpath from Lydiard Millicent to Lydiard Tregoze There are three Lydiards: Green, Millicent and Tregoze. Lydiard Millicent is the largest. The footpath can be made out leading away from the viewpoint in between the buttercups.

9/10 Wonderful! (41 reviews)
Check-in was early, which I appreciated. However, the room fell well below expectations: it had no window, a damp smell, no hot water, and felt very run-down. It also didn’t feel clean, and there were no hooks in the bathroom for towels. Overall, I would not recommend the Stables.
