Draycott Foliat, Swindon, SN4 0HX

Draycot Foliat is a hamlet in the civil parish of Chiseldon, in the Swindon district, in the ceremonial county of Wiltshire, England. It lies on the back road between Chiseldon to the north and Ogbourne St. George to the south, with the nearest major town, Swindon, about 5 miles (8 km) to the north. The hamlet contains between ten and twenty houses, one smallholding called Draycot Farm, and a larger farm, Sheppard's Farm, which covers some 750 acres. A notable feature is a small airstrip that hosts a model helicopter instruction centre. The Og, a tributary of the River Kennet, flows for about half of the year down the centre of the hamlet, forcing the road into a sharp hairpin bend. The setting offers a quiet rural lifestyle while remaining within easy reach of Swindon's amenities.
