The Magic Roundabout in Swindon, England, is a ring junction constructed in 1972 consisting of five mini-roundabouts arranged in a circle. Located near the County Ground, home of Swindon Town F.C., its name comes from the popular children's television series The Magic Roundabout. In 2009, it was voted the fourth-scariest junction in Britain.

IME the one in Hemel Hempstead is much easier to navigate and I think that's because it's got a larger and 'solid' centre which provides a visual anchor.

For me the issue with the one in Swindon is that you can see right across it with only the signs and road markings to help you understand where you should be
