Shaw Forest Park is a substantial green space in West Swindon, with a mix of large open grassy spaces and woodland areas.

Popular with families and dog walkers this former landfill site is an excellent place to go for a walk through the woods or cycle around on the hard packed gravel paths that run through site.

It is also possible to quickly reach Peatmoor Lagoon from the park which is only a 5-10 minute walk away.

The car park at Shaw Forest is open all day, but there is a height barrier which will block access to taller vehicles.
