On the same hill as [[Swindon]] [[Old Town]], Okus derives its name from 'Okus Farm' which formerly occupied the site.
To the north it overlooks [[New Swindon]] towards [[Blunsdon]] and [[St Andrews Ridge]] while to the south
it looks across the M4 motorway and [[Wroughton]] to the [[Marlborough Downs]], the northerly edge of the vast
chalk [[Salisbury Plain]] crowned by the [[Iron-Age]] [[hill fort]] now known as [[Barbury Castle]].
|
Looking over west [[Wroughton]] and the Science Museum on the site of the aerodrome towards [[Barbury Castle]] (to the left of the trees on the skyline) from the site of the former Princess Margaret Hospital which closed in [[2003]] |
