Thornhill Drive, St Andrew's Ridge, Swindon
This is a typical view within the Northern Expansion Area of Swindon, a development started in the 1990s to cater for housing demand from the local area and beyond. The development is continuing and will be for some time to come. Housing and estate design has improved in recent years, in my opinion at least.

A view south-west from St Andrew's Ridge, Swindon
The area north of the established areas of Penhill and Haydon Wick and south of the village of Blunsdon is known generically as the Northern Expansion Area. It has been under development for several years from the early 1990s. Within the NEA are individual sub-areas with names such as St Andrew's Ridge, Redhouse and Priory Vale. I suspect they are mostly marketing-inspired though with a nod to existing names and features. Sadly, I can't remember many of them. In this view we can see the open space between St Andrew's Ridge behind the viewpoint and, I think, Redhouse, outside this square. The marker at the right indicates the presence of a bridleway.
