FTS Southwick Park

Southwick Park, West Wiltshire - FULL

Southwick Park is located in West Wiltshire. The park is an ideal location of over 100 acres, with some excellent paths, good sculpture (see picture) and a 'friend of Southwick Park' group. Southwick Country Park is the largest new attraction in West Wiltshire. It is used free of charge by thousands of people each year. People are welcome to walk marked footpaths, picnic in one of the three picnic areas or just walk through the recently planted arboretum and woods. Development of the park has been financed partly by the Council and grants from the Forestry Authority. Students from Lackham and Trowbridge College and other voluntary groups have helped to plant the trees.
