This scenic view taken from Spirthill
looking northwest towards the hillside which has been
covered by the large Catcombe Wood. Travelling left
along the ridge top of the Lyneham airfield perimeter
are Avon Grove and Melsome Woods. The buildings in the
middle of the image are Godsell Cottages and Wood Farm
which are on the Foxham Common road leading out east
towards Bremhill and Calne.
The falling hillside woods on the most western side
of the airbase drops from approximately 145m down to
65m and covers about 3 square kilometres of land. Melsome
Wood hillside looks out west towards Christian Malford
and the main Paddington to Bristol rail link.
