Cruising area · South Marston One of 15 cruising areas in Swindon 1 of 15 in Swindon
Nightingale Woods
This is a fairly newly planted woods (3-5yrs) - sping and summer will give good leaf coverage and should get better over time. It's fairly isolated so should be ideal place for fun with less risk! Although this also means less passing 'trade'.
- Best time
- cruiser adds: looks promising but between 3-5pm there are a lot of dog walkers.
- Watch out
- As it's new, it's quiet - but then everywhere around Swindon is quiet!

The guide
Where exactly
From A419, take the Sainsburys/Toys-R-Us exit and head towards Oxford on A420. Approximately a mile or so along take a left turn towards South Marston (it's immediately after a speed camera and goes immediately under a railway bridge). Approximately a mile or so along, opposite Nightingale Hotel, turn right into Nightingale Lane. Drive all the way to the end (about half mile). where it turns into the entrance to the car park.
When to go
cruiser adds: looks promising but between 3-5pm there are a lot of dog walkers. Lunchtimes and evenings - doesn't seem to close.
Sunset today · Sunrise tomorrow
Etiquette
Usual cruising area etiquette! Single guy, sat in car alone... high chance he's up for it... take slow walk into woods/bushes and see if he follows!
Safety
As it's new, it's quiet - but then everywhere around Swindon is quiet! This is a 'beauty spot' and popular place for dog walkers - so usual discretion is advised - and PLEASE TAKE YOUR RUBBISH HOME - DON'T LEAVE IT LYING ABOUT LIKE OTHER PLACES!
