Some idea of what this former farmland looked like before the Wichelstowe development commenced can be gained from the view in the far distance. The land was known informally as the Front Garden, an area of land south of Swindon and north of the M4 between junction 16 and Croft Road. Over the next few years the development will proceed to the west of here. Much more on the developers' website http://www.wichelstowe.co.uk/index.asp?pageid=1
