Gateway to the West Country, and beyond, the Swindon area offers
something for everyone.
Retail
Close to Marlborough Park, Swindon's Old Town is full of real
charm and character, featuring specialist shops and a variety of
enticing cafes, bars and restaurants. And for the serious shopper,
Europe's largest covered designer outlet village is just a
10-minute drive away.
Sport and Leisure
Within five minutes drive of Marlborough Park, you can be at
Coate Water Country Park - perfect for picnics, afternoon strolls,
a spot of fishing or just taking in the abundant wildlife. Or, if
you're feeling adventurous, you can try your hand at jet skiing or
scuba diving at the nearby Cotsworld Water Park.
And at the nearby Oasis and Croft Leisure Centres you'll
find multi-screen cinemas, theatres and a variety of clubs and
music venues.
Education
Swindon is served by a choice of well-rated and highly regarded
primary and secondary schools, as well as several sixth form and
further education colleges.
Glorious countryside
Beyond the town, the glorious Wiltshire countryside is right on
your doorstep. Being just on the edge of the Cotswolds and
Marlborough Downs makes it easy to explore some of England's
loveliest landscapes and most picturesque villages.
