Dist:0.5km<br/>Looking along Poplar Tree Lane, Dillybrook is about 600 yards beyond the bend.

Dist:0.5km<br/>With some early crocuses for good measure. Although a mere half mile from the busy A 361 it seems like the back of beyond.

Dist:0.6km<br/>The lane passes Moorfield Farm partly hidden behind the trees.

Dist:0.6km<br/>How did the farm get its name? One imagines the dissolute son of some 18th century squire losing it in a game of cards. Or the prospective farmer looking over the land and saying "Alright, I'll take a chance on it." perhaps it once belonged to a Mr.Chancefield.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Outbuildings of Moorfield Farm. They don't worry too much about pretty in these parts, busy making a living.

Dist:0.8km<br/>Typical farmland for this part of Wiltshire. In the very far distance in the very centre of the photograph is the Westbury White Horse.

Dist:1.0km<br/>Right at the south western edge of Southwick. Not sure if this is still active as a farm.

Dist:1.0km northwest<br/>Dilly is an old word for duck. It is possible that the brook running behind the farm house was once used for raising ducks for the market. The brook here forms the county boundary between Wiltshire, to the right and Somerset to the left. [[[114776]]] gives a closer view of the farmhouse.
