About Swindon

A modern town in South-west England, Swindon is famous for its fine attractions, quaint alleyways, and elegant courtyards. Located in Wiltshire, Swindon sits between Reading, 35 miles to the east, and Bristol, the same distance to the west. As an old market town, the railway played an important part in Swindon's history in the 19th century. Still today, the Great Western Railway trains are the pride of this city. Visit Lydiard Park to discover a beautiful walled garden, a children’s playground, educational programs, food stalls, and heavenly night fireworks on special occasions. While at the park, pop into St Mary’s church, a late medieval stone church with beautiful murals and sculptures.

Bring your children to the adventurous playground at Roves Farm. You can learn to drive a tractor here, a handy way to make a tour of the farm grounds. Then stop off for a cup of English tea and home-made biscuits at the farm's tearoom. Back in town, the Great Western Railway Museum brings you back in time to the industrial revolution and the invention of the steam engine. If you are searching for accommodation in Swindon, book a hotel with the help of Opodo's powerful search engine.
