Welcome to Westlea

Westlea is a small village located in the county of Wiltshire, England. It is situated on the outskirts of the town of Swindon and is home to a population of around 3,000 people. The village is known for its picturesque countryside, which is popular with walkers and cyclists. There are also several local amenities, including a primary school, a post office, and a village hall.

One of the most notable features of Westlea is its proximity to the Cotswolds, an area of outstanding natural beauty. The village is surrounded by rolling hills and lush green fields, making it an ideal location for those who enjoy outdoor activities. There are several walking and cycling routes in the area, including the Ridgeway National Trail, which passes through nearby Swindon.

A Lovely Park For Dog Walking. There Is A Lake Which Often Has Anglers On It So Best To Keep On A Lead For That Part, But The Actual Hill Is Perfect For Dog Walkers And There Is Lots Of Fields To Wander Into. It Is Also Not Open To Cyclists Which Is Nice. The Second Photo Displayed Above Is Copyrighted To Brian Robert Marshall And Licensed For Reuse Under This Creative Commons Licence.
