Route Details

The Old And The New

7 views
0 comments
This walk takes in the two forms of travel and historic infrastructure (old railway line and old/new canal) that led to Swindon becoming an industrial powerhouse and really put us on the map - not to mention the views, nature and wildlife you encounter!
This walk takes in the Old Town Gardens, the Old Town Railway Path, the new development at Wichelstowe and views of the M4!
A linear route, it can be made circular by using Kingshill to return on foot, or the 22 bus links Bath Road to Penzance Road.

About the Calorie Calculator

Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
