If pubs aren't your thing, but you still fancy a leisurely day in the open air, then a picnic could be the perfect answer.
Fill a cool bag with a few sandwiches and sausage rolls (or something a bit posh if you're trying to impress) - and hey presto, it's time to find a spot in the sun for the day.
And why not take a stroll through one of Swindon's parks and gardens...
