If you had half a day or a day in Swindon, what would YOU do? I have my own ideas (and plenty of them) but I'm not going to make suggestions just yet as you folks may come up with lots of other and extra and original ideas if I don't prompt you.
What would YOU do?
What would you recommend to your Mum and Dad?
Where would you take the kids?

Railway museum is very good there!!
Personally I think Swindon's a dump, but is does have very good lesuire and shopping facilities.
Oasis leisure centre and Outlet shopping village are only a stones throw from the station.

A few weeks ago I organised an event in Swindon which, amongst other things, included a guided open topped bus tour of some of the, uh, memorable sights (including of course a tour round the Magic Roundabout, which the Americans in particular loved). Long story as to why, but it seemed to go down really well. Here's a link to a French lady's pictures of the day: http://fifokaswiti.dyndns.org/Fforde_Ffestival_2005/index.html |

Good starters, thanks, Gents .... I'll be putting together a flyer sheet tomorrow and including those ideas (except, sorry, the Magic Roundabout - too far to walk from the station too - err - just look at a roundabout?). Is it worth mentioning the soccer, or the main town shopping area? Architecture of the railway village? Connecting trains to Didcot  ?? Have to say ... for certain shopping needs we use Swindon, for onward connections we use Swindon, and I've many happy memories of taking the kids to the Oasis. And I never cease to be surprised how quick it is by train v by road! |
