Discover Swindon
Swindon is a large Wiltshire town that grew around the Great Western Railway works, and the railway village and STEAM museum still record that heritage. Today it has a strong logistics and manufacturing base at a key motorway and rail crossroads, with the Designer Outlet in the old works buildings and green space at Lydiard Park and Coate Water. Old Town, Stratton and Wroughton sit around the centre. People need to be in Swindon for logistics, manufacturing and local infrastructure work. It sits at the junction of the M4 and A419, and the mainline station reaches London in around an hour. The area offers a good range of shops, restaurants and everyday services close to where people are working.
