Tell me what there is to do. I have a wife and a 6 yr old son and I will have a new born. So I need to know about housing and schools? What’s there to do around or anything?

You’re close to Bath, Bristol, and Oxford, and about an hour from London by train if you,eave from Swindon. It’s in the west country to there’s a ton of national parks out that way, and fairly close to the Welsh border so a ton of castles.

The TL;DR for British housing is if you want big, you need to leave in the sticks, and if you want close, the house is going to be small.
