The Magic Roundabout in Swindon was constructed in 1972 and consists of one large roundabout containing 5 mini-roundabouts. It is located near the County Ground, home of Swindon Town It was an innovative system which constructed after consultation with the British Roads Research Laboratory. The large roundabout is actually anti-clockwise, where as the 5 mini-roundabouts is clockwise. The official name of this roundabout used to be County Islands, although hardly anyone other than officials called it by this name. The official name was changed in the late 1990s to match its popular name. It is the subject of a pop song by local band XTC. T-shirts are produced with a slogan regarding the magic roundabout.
