A view of the Magic Roundabout from the C401 Fleming Way

The Magic Roundabout is a well-known junction located in Swindon. It links the ring road (here numbered A4289 and B4289) to the A4312 and two unclassified local roads. It is infamous for its design, which consists of a ring of mini-roundabouts, with an inner ring where drivers travel anti-clockwise.

The junction was originally known officially as County Islands, but was renamed to (The) Magic Roundabout, so the name now appears on signs.

It was the first Magic Roundabout in the United Kingdom.
