About Swindon - Swindon is set in an attractive area in the midst of the Wiltshire Downs and the Cotswolds, with a mix of urban and rural communities. Despite its modern image, Swindon is not a new town and for nearly 150 years it was one of the world's great railway centres. Swindon Old Town makes a sharp contrast with the new business parks, which place the town at the forefront of the hi-tech revolution.
Shopping - ICentral to everything is the Brunel Centre, a modern, covered shopping mall with a wide range of shops and amenities. The Brunel Centre offers undercover shopping and boasts a whole host of well-known national and international retailers. The Swindon Designer Outlet Village. is Europe'slargest covered Designer Outlet, occupying the beautifully restored Great Western railway works, near Swindon town centre.
Things to do - Famous for the Great Western Railway works, it has today been brought alive at the award-winning museum STEAM – Museum of the Great Western Railway. Swindon is also enriched with Victorian parks and gardens, areas of extended woodlands, museums, galleries and centres of heritage. Swindon has superb sports and recreation facilities and offers a variety of lively night life with a number of bars, night clubs and restaurants that cater for all tastes.
