Broad Blunsdon is a village in Wiltshire, south west England, located north of Swindon on the A419 road and easily accessible from junctions 15 and 16 of the M4 motorway.
Together with the nearby village of Blunsdon St Andrew, the settlement is usually known simply as Blunsdon.
Blunsdon dates from Roman times: it was discovered that a Roman travellersÂ’
resting place existed on the site of the present-day Cold Habour pub. The main road (A419) lies on the course of a Roman road known as Ermine Street that linked the historic Roman towns of Cirencester and Silchester.
Blunsdon Abbey Stadium is home to greyhound racing, and also the home for Swindon Robins speedway racing. Swindon Robins participate in the speedway Elite League.
The village has its own football team, Blunsdon United, but the majority of the fans support Swindon Town.
