The Circle, Pinehurst The Circle was originally the centre of a 1930s garden city development in Swindon. This open green area has been largely retained, and provides space for dog-walkers, and for children to play, although the central dualled road is very busy at times. The recently-renovated shops can be seen at the far side.
