There is still a feeling of unity within
Bradenstoke village, and considerable architectural
and historical interest in many of the buildings. Clack
Mount and the ruined Abbey add further historical interest.
Exploring the rolling hills around neighbouring Lyneham
we visited Abbey Farm on the Dauntsey banks where the
former Augustian Abbey remains stand, blanketed with
ivy can be seen from miles around. Clack Mount, rises
at the highest point of the Corallian ridge behind Bradenstoke
Abbey Farm. Placename evidence indicates it possible
started as a barrow.
