About

Penhill sits on the eastern edge of Swindon, characterised by its post-war housing estates built to accommodate the town's growth. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of terraced and semi-detached homes.

The area is directly bordered by the Marlborough Road, a major route connecting to Swindon's town centre and the M4 motorway.
