Peatmoor Community Woodland

Our verdict

Not a destination for anyone outside the immediate area, but exactly the kind of everyday green space that makes a housing estate more liveable — credit where it's due. A five-minute stroll rather than a proper walk.

A modest strip of community woodland woven into the Peatmoor housing estate in west Swindon, planted to give the estate some green cover rather than to preserve anything ancient. Flat, easy paths make it a genuine everyday local walk for residents.

A small community-planted woodland on a west Swindon housing estate, open at all times.
