Hayes Knoll

Hayes Knoll is a hamlet between Swindon and Cricklade in north Wiltshire, England. It is in the Civil [parishes in England|civil parish] of Purton, about west of the village of Purton Stoke and south of Cricklade.
The North [Wilts Canal], which linked the Wilts & Berks Canal at Swindon with the Thames and Severn Canal at Latton, north of Cricklade, passed close to the hamlet, where there was a lock. The canal was opened in 1819 and abandoned in 1914; since 2007 it has been under restoration as part of the Cricklade Country Way.
The hamlet has given its name to Hayes Knoll station on the Swindon and Cricklade Railway.
