    Always a good place for a rummage around in first

    Generally this is the second place on your tour, some people visit it first but they usually do that by mistake.

    Defintly visit here before the other two otherwise its often closed

          Something to consider.
          Luckily the Swindonians can't afford to make the journey, so the capital is pleasantly free of them.
