- STEAM Museum of the Great Western Railway. The Swindon Works of the Great Western Railway functioned for more than 140 years up to 1986 and at one time was one of the largest railway facilities in the world.
- Museum of Computing. The exhibition at Swindon’s Museum of Computing is a 75-year timeline of computer technology. The museum is in a converted shop by the Central Library on Regent Circus, and it’s obvious that a lot of love has gone into the collection of vintage Apple Macs, desktop PCs, laptops, arcade games and consoles.
- Lydiard Park. On Swindon’s western fringe is a Grade I-listed Palladian country house in 260 acres of parkland. The house is open for tours in summer when you can savour the main hall, dining room, morning room, drawing room, guest bedroom and dressing room, graced with ornate stuccowork, giltwood furniture, marble fireplaces, silk wallpaper and family portraits.
- Swindon Museum and Art Gallery. Side by side in Swindon’s Old Town, the Swindon Museum and Art Gallery are essentially a joint attraction. The museum is in a listed Georgian townhouse and has some worthwhile local archaeological finds like Roman ceramics and coins from a settlement at Wanborough.
