Wroughton
Wroughton is a village in
Wiltshire,
England. It is part of the
borough of Swindon (and is located on the southern outskirts of
Swindon).
The older name for the village is
Ellendune.
Wroughton is also known for being the largest village in the whole UK.
Until the 19th century it was nothing but a mere country village. Wroughton is most prominent for its connection to
The Ridgeway (in which its secondary school is named after), a popular National Trail which is often in itself related to the ancient
White Horse.
Wroughton was home to
RAF Wroughton which closed in the late
1970s.
Wroughton is famous for its annual carnival which attracts many beer drinkers and young students, and of course the odd float.
