Some of the newer bits of Swindon are functional and souless it is true but there is much tucked away that can only be found by walking about.
Very much like Southampton, actually! There's a load of lovely hidden nooks and crannies if only you have the time to go and find them... I might have to blog it meself!

Your link about the Fleet was fascinating - I had heard about it and lived for nearly two decades within walking distance of Hampstead Heath but had no idea that is where it sprang from. What a tragedy it is so completely gone - it would be heart-breaking if the beautiful Kennett ever became so depleted. Let us trust that will never happen.
Yeah - it's always a shame, isn't it? It'd be nice to think that such prominent places will be better looked after by a modern society - learning from our past mistakes and all that... Only time will tell!
