>Jurassic Coast
Your first red question mark is right over the Jurassic coast, a world heritage site, with Lyme Regis being the main town for this. The cliffs along the coast are eroding here every day depositing fresh fossils that fall out along the coast that you are able to freely walk along and collect (because they will only be lost to the sea otherwise). It's a world heritage site

>Swindon
bit of a shithole. It has a huge outlet mall for shopping, people from all around the region go there. The town grew in the industrial revolution around the railway works for Brunel's Great Western Railway (very famous, historic, well liked/respected railway company - the historic one and not the one using its name without any relation to them). You'll find a lot of heritage stuff related to that around

>Reading~
Some good racecourses (horse racing) accessible from here. Ascot will be best. Royal Ascot (17-21 June) is one of the major horse racing fixtures of the year but there are other dates with races on.

>Stonehenge
Just Stonehenge? There is more around there. Salisbury (the cathedral has the best preserved original Magna Carta), Old Sarum

>Air shows
Royal International Air Tattoo (18th-20th July) at RAF Fairford very close to Swindon. The largest military air show in the world. RAF Fairford is actually a US airbase used for B52s, B2s, the big bombers basically. https://www.airtattoo.com/
There is no Farnborough this year (it's every 2 years) which is also a major airshow near Reading
