Magic Roundabout (Swindon)

The Magic Roundabout in Swindon, England, is a ring junction constructed in 1972[1] consisting of five mini-roundabouts arranged in a circle.

Located near the County Ground, home of Swindon Town F.C., its name comes from the popular children's television series The Magic Roundabout.

A police officer was stationed at each mini roundabout during this pilot phase to oversee how drivers coped with the unique arrangement.

A narrow, stone bridge built c. 1810, which is a Grade II listed building,[6] carried the old Saxon way known as Drove Road over the canal half a mile (800 m) east of the town centre.

A calendar is produced each year by the UK Roundabout Appreciation Society depicting the town's finest examples.
