Dist:0.4km<br/>A flat, uninteresting area between Melksham and the K & A Canal at Semington. The ideal place to put a trading estate. The roundabout is on Semington Road.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The sand pits at the either end of the unused long jump and triple jump track provide easy digging going for the rabbits that have constructed rather extensive warren or warrens here.

Dist:0.5km<br/>And joggers? Yes we can let him pass. Semington Road, formerly the A350, now bypassed and closed to most traffic. About half a mile from Semington village.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The running track here was laid in 1983 by Avon Rubber apparently as an investigation into the practicalities of all-weather tracks. Although on land managed by Christie Miller Sports Centre, the track is not maintained as there have not been the funds to do so.

Dist:0.5km<br/>This is on the stretch of road shown in [[1618859]], now closed off to vehicles to the north, except for buses.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Maybe not quite the cachet of Stanfords, but a map shop is quite a rarity, even though this organisation trades mostly on the internet. I was tempted to call in, and the sign makes clear that personal customers are welcome, but I didn't really need any maps. This is the Evans Business Centre, a fairly recent addition to the landscape.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Approaching Berryfield. The roundabout is at the entrance to the new business park. Heavy vehicles exit onto the bypass about 600 yards to the east.

Dist:0.6km<br/>The Kennet and Avon Canal crosses the new A350 at Semington by means of an aqueduct, necessitating this highly unusual stretch of 'dual carriageway'.
©Stephen McKay
Dist:0.6km<br/>This aqueduct is reported to be the first navigable aqueduct to be built in the south west for almost 200 years and is built from concrete and containing 529 tonnes of steel reinforcement. It is part of the £12m Semington bypass project carrying the A350 around Semington and avoiding a narrow hump bridge over the canal further to the west - a hazard for long vehicles.
