Westwood Road, Penhill, Swindon
The street-naming theme in Penhill is Wiltshire towns and villages. Westwood is a village near the county border with Bath and North-East Somerset. The three-storey block at the left contains quite roomy maisonettes. Penhill has benefited from a mid-life update carried out by the Council as can be seen from the external appearance of the block.

Several strips of undeveloped land are to be found in this area. Possibly thought too steep to build on, they provide a bit of open space for local residents.
