Interesting facts about Swindon
In the UK, the car's steering wheel is on the right hand side, and you drive on the left hand side of the road. If you stay in the country at Campanile accommodation, you may need a little help! Moreover, the English have complicated the task with facetious roundabouts! In Swindon, there is a five-way roundabout known as the "Magic Roundabout". It consists of five mini-roundabouts with a large roundabout in the center in the opposite direction; hats off to anyone who makes it through without hesitating!
