Dist:1.0km east<br/>Looking across fields near to Holm and Ivy Farm, from Shaftesbury town centre, with hedgerows and trees punctuating the white landscape created after 6 inches of snow fell the previous day. The two trees towards the top-right corner, behind what looks like a quadbike track and with electricity poles passing close by, are at ST 8537 2030. The three trees in a line, roughly centre, to the left of the unidentified dark spot in the middle of a field, are at ST 8554 2061. The two hedges which come together from a similar direction on the left-hand side of the picture, do so at ST 8562 2089.

Dist:1.3km southeast<br/>For centuries weathervanes have kept people in touch with the elements, signalling those shifts in the wind, which bring changes in the weather. This simple device has grown into a charming English tradition which can say something about their owners, adding interest to the landscape.
