Swindon in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England is a small, semi‑rural village now largely absorbed into the suburbs of Cheltenham. Sitting on the edge of the Cotswolds, it combines a quiet, village character - with a church, green and local hall - with easy access to the larger town’s shops, festivals and racecourse, making it popular with commuters and families.

Historically a separate parish, Swindon retains a strong local community feel and a mix of older cottages and more recent housing; residents value the nearby countryside and walking routes as much as the practical transport and services offered by nearby Cheltenham, giving it a pleasant blend of rural charm and suburban convenience.
