Overview

Lydiard Tregoze Parish - Flaxlands Solar Farm.
Lydiard Tregoze Parish stretches from Wroughton via Lydiard Park to Braydon Forest.
Unfortunately most footpaths have stiles, some difficult.
We visit the site of a proposed hilltop solar farm at Flaxlands.

20 minute refreshment break. 
Flat, lots of stiles.
