Dist:0.4km<br/>The pub has always been a little quirky. A previous landlord encouraged art exhibitions and there were occasional poetry evenings. It was once also a youth hostel but as of late 2011 no longer offers that facility. The pub has its own website http://www.goddard-arms.co.uk/

Dist:0.4km<br/>The small Wiltshire village of Clyffe Pypard sits at the foot of an escarpment that runs for some distance through the county. It has a pub and a youth hostel. Architecturally it is a mix of traditional thatched cottages and more modern tile-roofed properties.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Yew was planted in churchyards as their roots were thought to grow through the eyes of the dead. This was said to stop them seeing into this world, and keep them from trying to return as spirits. In pagan times it was also a symbol of life itself, as when many other plants lost their leaves in winter, the dark evergreen leaves of the yew and its red berries told that life continued.
