Hayes Knoll

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hayes Knoll is a hamlet between Swindon and Cricklade in Wiltshire.

It has given its name to Hayes Knoll station on the Swindon and Cricklade Railway.

Hayes Knoll station was built, with an engineering workshop and locomotive shed, at a place where the original railway trackbed between Swindon and Cricklade includes an additional piece of land in railway ownership. It thus provides an initial destination for trains from Blunsdon railway station, plus engineering facilities required to operate the railway. There is no access to Hayes Knoll station except by train.
