Barbury Castle Country Park

About this park

Barbury Castle Country Park, a 60-hectare site overlooking Swindon, is a haven for dog walkers with its expansive chalk grassland and historic Iron Age hill fort. Dogs are very welcome here, with the amenity field next to the car park being particularly perfect for exercising them off-lead and enjoying a good run. Throughout the rest of the park, dogs can generally be off-lead, but owners should be mindful of the fragile chalk grassland environment and any wildlife. The diverse terrain offers plenty of sniffing opportunities and open spaces for dogs to explore, from the ancient hill fort to the wide-open amenity field. It's an isolated site, making it ideal for peaceful walks away from the hustle and bustle. There are footpaths weaving through the site, providing different routes for various energy levels. Remember to bring water for your dog, especially on warmer days, as specific dog water facilities are not mentioned. Facilities include a car park, a toilet block, and a picnic site, ensuring a comfortable visit for owners. Bins are available for waste, helping to keep the park pristine. The car park is open from 7:30 am until 9:00 pm, providing ample time for a good walk. Barbury Castle Country Park offers a wonderful blend of history, nature, and open space for both dogs and their owners to enjoy.
