Dist:0.4km<br/>The dovecot is adjacent to Bridge House in Bentham, and is a 16th century grade II* listed building. (Grade II* = high quality buildings in their original condition, normally with an interior of interest)

Dist:0.4km<br/>For the past fifteen years the Greek Orthodox community had been sharing a church building with St. Luke's in Cheltenham. But the growing Greek community in the county meant that the time had come to find a permanent home and that was found on the site of St. Peter's at Bentham near Cheltenham. The new church is to be named after St. John Chrysostom, one of the popular saints in the Greek Orthodox Church who was born in Antioch in AD347 and died at Commana in Pontus in 407.

Dist:0.5km<br/>In this view to the north-west we look down the hill from the Barrow Wake viewpoint to the A417 dual carriageway as it passes commercial and industrial premises east of the A46.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The A417 is part of the strategic north-south route through this part of England. In this foreshortened view the curve in the road has been exaggerated. This stretch of dual-carriageway now has to climb the steep scarp face I've always called Birdlip Hill before reaching a roundabout at the Air Balloon pub. Since submitting this image I've been informed by Jonathan Billinger that the buildings at the top are used as turkey sheds. The only poultry farm in the vicinity is Alexander and Angell (Farms) Ltd; they also raise pigs.
