Lydiard Park is a 260 acre country park at Lydiard Tregoze,about 4 miles west of central Swindon. Lydiard Tregoze is mentioned in the Domesday Book and was owned by the Tregoze family from about 1189. The park was used by the American Forces as a military hospital from 1942 and between 1943 and March 1946 was a PoW camp and military hospital for German prisoners. After buying and restoring it Swindon Council opened it to the public in 1955.
