Dist:0.2km<br/>NCN Route 4 with Compton Bassett House in background

Dist:0.3km<br/>The viewpoint is a bridleway carrying a cycle route. There is also supposed to be a footpath running across the mud patch parallel to the bridleway.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Another example of flytipping on the cycle route.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Now denuded of foliage, this is still an impressive example of the iconic tree. The farmland remains as it was after harvesting several weeks ago so perhaps is being given a year off.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Farmers sometimes use old tyres as weights on silage clamps. It is more likely these have been dumped.

Dist:0.5km<br/>St Michaels church, well worth a visit, with one of the most beautiful stone screens in England.

Dist:0.6km<br/>The church dates from the late 12th century and possesses a particularly fine 15th century screen.

Dist:0.6km<br/>This is an 'off road cycle route', part of the national network of cycle trails. It is also a bridleway.

Dist:0.6km<br/>A pleasant enough afternoon for a ride out on this fairly quiet road.

Dist:0.7km<br/>The viewpoint is the junction of the subject bridleway and Cycle route 4, also a bridleway. I trust I have the apostrophe in the right place - that's what it looks like on the 1:25K map.

Dist:0.7km<br/>A look into the setting sun at the activities at the waste handling facility has produced this rather apocalyptic view. There is a member of the equine family in the image if you look hard enough.

Dist:0.7km<br/>The site is one of several operated by Hills. Here's more about what goes on there http://www.hills-group.co.uk/sites_calne.php The quadruped in the image is a bonus.

Dist:0.8km<br/>The village can be seen in the distance. It is home to a fellow who made a mint singing songs.
©Brian Robert Marshall
Dist:0.8km<br/>The road has had some of its newness worn off. It joins the road to Compton Bassett about 400 metres ahead.

Dist:0.8km<br/>The farm in the distance is Freeth Farm, not in this square.
