🛑 Draycot Foliat

Draycot Foliat is a hamlet in the civil parish of Chiseldon, in the Swindon district, in the ceremonial county of Wiltshire, England, on the back road between Chiseldon to the north and Ogbourne St. George to the south. The nearest major town is Swindon which is about 5 miles (8 km) north. A notable feature is a small airstrip with its model helicopter instruction centre. There is one smallholding, called Draycot Farm, and a larger farm, Sheppard's Farm, which comprises some 750 acres. In addition, there are between ten and twenty other houses. 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.
