Broad Blunsdon is a small village on the edge of Swindon in Wiltshire, England, lying a few miles north‑east of the town centre amid rolling farmland. The settlement mixes older thatched cottages and farm buildings with more recent housing and benefits from good road links via the A419 and M4, so many residents commute into Swindon or further afield.
Historically part of the neighbouring parish of Blunsdon, the village retains a rural feel even as modern amenities have arrived: nearby you’ll find the converted country house Blunsdon House and the heritage Swindon and Cricklade Railway. Local life centres on a small village hall, a pub and community events, giving Broad Blunsdon a quietly social, village atmosphere despite its proximity to the larger town.
