Definitely not Shrivenham Road. You have to live there to park there and walk into town (unless you're Arriba).

A lot of people park around the dunsford close area just the other side of kings hill and just walk down the old canal path. About 5 minutes brisk walk.

No, but it is much cheaper than parking in town, 5 minute walk.

Good old Swindon Borough Council.  Peculiar reference to "Dammas Lane" in that link.  Dammas Lane is in Old Town, near to The Square.

Parking in the Oasis carpark is totally free now it is privately owned & not by the Council! A quick sprint thought the tunnel affectionately known as 'Muggers' Alley' and you are at the end Of Bridge Street.

Is the parking in town centre still only £2 though?

The outlet is only that and straight through the tunnel.

There's a free shuttle bus between the Outlet and Town Centre.

Wake up Samdy. That service was temporary and ceased on 9th September.

The car parks next to Brunel Centre and Debenhams are still £2 for up to 4 hours.  I use them whenever I go into town.
