Mobile homes park, Blunsdon Abbey
An isolated rural community, until quite recently - now surrounded on all sides by the onward march of Swindon's northern expansion.

Thanks to the Romans
As the notice explains, developers starting work here unearthed the course of a Roman road, which led to this area being preserved as a park.

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.

St Andrew's churchyard, Blunsdon St Andrew
Viewed facing east, the south elevation of the church can be seen at the left. Beyond that is what was once an abbey, still known as Blunsdon Abbey, which is now a residential property having had a rather modern-looking extension added.
