If you are ever in the Swindon area a visit to the old GWR works museum is well worth a visit, easy parking ajacent to the museum entrace and then just be taken back in time. You will need to plan an all day visit if you are a real steam fan as there are many stands to check out..... More

It is difficult to say anything new about this attraction. It is reasonably priced, of reasonable size so no overload, very readable descriptors and instructive videos.

This is a fun way to spend a few hours. Even if you are not particularly interested in steam engines, the depiction of days gone by is still very entertaining. Nice staff and a brand new café with home made cakes. More
