Mini guide to Swindon

The largest town in Wiltshire, Swindon is a fast-growing modern town thanks to its M4 location, yet has a well-preserved history heavily-focused on its heyday as home to Brunel's railway works 150 years ago.

Swindon's principal attraction is STEAM, the Museum of the Great Western Railway, which depicts the fascinating history of this important railway. The complex features refurbished railway buildings which also house Europe's largest covered designer outlet centre and the National Monuments Record Centre.

The southern Old Town is interesting to explore, particularly the ruined Norman 'Holyrood' church behind the High Street, a little beyond Market Square with its fine 18th century red-brick Square House.

Travel just a short distance from Swindon and discover some of the most breathtaking scenery to be found in England - prehistoric sites, historic houses, and areas of outstanding natural beauty. Ten miles south of Swindon is the largest Henge monument in Britain. Avebury is one of the most important megalithic monuments in Europe and spread over a vast area. The great stone circle, encompassing part of the village of Avebury, is enclosed by a ditch and external bank and approached by an avenue of stones.

Leisure options abound. For nightlife, head to the Old Town for a wide range of restaurants, bars and clubs, or for a more cerebral evening, try the town's Wyvern Theatre, Swindon's home for the performing arts. When it comes to entertainment Swindon's got the lot - theatre, arts, festivals, fabulous restaurants, fashionable bars, and premier nightclubs.

Swindon is little more than an hour's drive from Heathrow Airport on the M4 motorway, providing access to most European and worldwide destinations. Train depart hourly from London Paddington station.
