Entrance off Shrivenham Road onto the Magic Roundabout. The Magic Roundabout was built in 1972 and although at a high level it might be thought of as a single roundabout, in practice it is a series of 5 mini roundabouts arranged in a circle enabling drivers to use the shortest route between their entry and exit point. Prior to construction, the site was a standard roundabout with 3 exits - its expansion followed the construction of Queen's Drive and Fleming Way adding to the number of roads using the junction.
