Now this is a Roundabout !


The Magic Roundabout in Swindon, England was constructed in 1972 and consists of one large roundabout containing five mini-roundabouts. It is located near the County Ground, home of Swindon Town F.C. Its name comes from the popular children's television series The Magic Roundabout.

In 2005, it was voted the worst roundabout in a survey by a UK insurance company.[3] In September 2007, the Magic Roundabout was named as one of the World's Worst Junctions by a UK motoring magazine.[4] In December 2007, BBC News reported a survey identifying The Magic Roundabout as one of the "10 Scariest Junctions in the United Kingdom".[5]
