Swindon, Wiltshire, Visitor & Tourism Guide
Swindon's a top place, seriously. Along with destinations such as The English Riviera and Blackpool, Swindon's usually positioned as a place to avoid. Don't.
We'd recommend visiting for STEAM, Museum of the Great Western Railway alone. The museum's next to a massive discount shopping complex, too, if you want some retail therapy.
Take time to explore Lydiard Park and House. Look out for the Golden Cavalier in Lydiard Tregoze St Mary's Church.
Whilst you're in Swindon, explore the local area which includes the North Wessex Downs AONB and Avebury Stone Circle World Heritage Site. Stonehenge World Heritage Site is to the south of the AONB.
The beautiful market town Marlborough is just down the road as is the glorious Pewsey Vale.
Members of the PictureTheUK team spent eight years living in Wiltshire and recommend the county highly.
