Dist:0.4km<br/>The turnstile and main stand. Larkhall Athletic is a leading light in the Western League, in the 2007/8 season they would have been runners up but for goal difference. If they are league champions this coming season they could be promoted to the Southern League, then it will be the Conference and the Football League (fourth division) beckons. You never know, they could end up fighting it out with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United. You need to think big in this game. Just look at their record http://www.fchd.info/LARKHALA.HTM

Dist:0.4km<br/>Larkhall Sports Club looking west-north-west from the allotment area. Almost all land in this area is on slopes, so this Sports facility has a prime spot!

Dist:0.6km<br/>From a spot near Viewpoint Farm we are looking a little east of south across the Avon valley to Bathampton Down. ST 7765 St.Saviours Church at Lambridge is near the centre. Lambridge has nothing to do with lambs, it is named for the Lam Brook which flows from the north between Lansdown and Charmy Down.

Dist:0.7km<br/>This church holds weekly Sunday services and has an adjoining 'quiet garden' for rest and reflection.

Dist:0.7km<br/>In spite of its narrowness, Colliers Lane is used as a short-cut for commuters travelling between the M4 motorway and the north of Bath. View Point Farm is on one of the few level parts of Colliers Lane.

Dist:0.7km<br/>The path from the church joins the lane. Charlcombe Lane is long, steep and narrow, and a trap for lorry drivers who obey their sat nav rather than common sense and road signs.

Dist:0.8km<br/>The cattle are out of sight down the hill, the electrified fence will keep them under control when they come this way. At the bottom of the valley we can see houses in Swainswick with the realigned A46 to Cheltenham behind. Little Solsbury Hill ST7667 rises beyond, we are high enough to see over the top. Although Little Solsbury rises to 191 metres it is overshadowed by hills all around but is still able to mark its place.

Dist:0.8km<br/>The small village of Upper Swainswick. The flat-topped hill to the right is Little Solsbury Hill - the site of an Iron Age hillfort.

Dist:0.8km<br/>Lower Swainswick is now on the edge of Bath, while Upper Swainswick remains isolated. This is the junction of Valley View Road, Deadmill Lane, Ferndale Road and St. Saviour's Road, taken from just outside the Bladud's Head pub.
