Roam picturesque streets and spend time appreciating nature amid acres of woodland as you explore this beautiful part of Wiltshire.

You may not have heard of Lydiard Tregoze before, but that’s because it is one of Swindon’s hidden gems. Removed from the hustle and bustle of the major city, this parish is the perfect place to learn about England’s history and smell the fresh air. Come here for a taste of idyllic English village life.

Start your visit by seeing the small village of Hook. Here, you will find quaint and quiet streets lined with brick homes. This is the place to appreciate slow-paced semi-rural life.

One of Lydiard Tregoze’s most famous landmarks is Lydiard Park. Stroll through its hundreds of acres of woodlands and wide pathways to discover beautiful lakes and spaces to play. Bring the children to play on the playground equipment and run freely through the grassy fields. You will pass plenty of bikers and runners along the way, as Lydiard Park has become popular place for getting active.

No matter the weather, you should also explore Lydiard House. Its history stretches back to medieval times and original furnishings have been left inside. Visit for a guided tour or just explore the colourfully decorated rooms at your own pace.

Continue on to the Walled Garden, a purpose-built landscaped garden that attracts bees, butterflies and other wildlife. Here, you’ll find a maze of shrubs that changes seasonally, depending on what plants thrive in the current weather conditions.

Finish with a stop at St. Mary’s Church. This is the last remaining relic of the original Lydiard Tregoze village, the rest of which fell into disrepair over 300 years ago. Appreciate the intricate details of the golden monument to the St. John family that stands inside.

The closest airport to Lydiard Tregoze is Bristol Airport, though London Heathrow Airport is also a great option for a wider range of flights. Try to rent a car when exploring the area, as its rural nature means this is the easiest and most efficient way to get around.
