Travel to the Windmill Hill Area

There are frequent bus services connecting the Windmill Hill and Blagrove area with Swindon town centre, Old Town and Wootton Bassett. Even if you don’t live in these areas, the good network of buses around the urban area also means it’s easy to connect in the town centre.

Thamesdown Transport’s Service 25 travels from Swindon Town Centre, via Old Town and Blagrove Industrial Estate before circling Windmill Hill business park. Service 27 provides a link from the town centre via the Outlet Village to Lydiard Fields before circling Windmill Hill business park and returning to town.

From Wootton Bassett, Stagecoach Service 55 serve the bus stops on Great Western Way, just a short walk from Blagrove, Lydiard Fields and Windmill Hill. It is also possible to catch these services in town. See the map for routes and timetable information.
