Perched on a ridge overlooking the south-western edge of Swindon, Toothill was the first of the major "interstate" urban expansions planned in the 1970s. Its name is a nod to its topography, derived from the Old English *tot-hyll*, meaning a lookout hill, and you can still see why when looking out across the surrounding Wiltshire countryside. The layout reflects the era’s "Radburn" design principles, which focused on separating pedestrian footpaths from main roads, creating a network of leafy walkways and "village" clusters like those around the central village lookout. It is a practical spot to live, anchored by a local centre that provides the essentials - a primary school, a community centre, and a small supermarket - while being neatly tucked between the M4 corridor and the extensive green spaces of Lydiard Park, which is just a short walk away. Despite being part of the modern town’s footprint, it has held onto pockets of its rural past, including some of the original hedgerows and mature trees that predate the houses.
