I found this - The Seven Wonders of Swindon

How could they miss the mystical magic roundabout, equal to the boring Stonehenge any day.

I must be concentrating too much when cycling as I pass that lighthouse everyday and still haven't seen it yet.

Hey, did you know that Stonehenge isn't really a henge, despite Stonehenge being the source of the work henge in the first place?

Avebury henge is far better than Stonehenge, plus it's free, you can touch the stones, there is a pub opposite it and it conforms to the definition of a henge.

Agree, Avebury is very nice.

I have - in both professional and voluntary capacities since the late 1970's, but wonder as to the relevance....

I assume that you are aware that in these groups that majority will be unable to hold a licence to drive , and that regular access to a car is less than 20%?

How does that suggest that car ownership is essential when these are the very groups least likely to own one, or have access to one.
