This distant and hilltop view of Melsome
Wood was taken from the junction where Friday Street
and Lye Common road meet east of Christian Malford.
The large deciduous woodland area blankets the escarpment
west of the Lyneham airfield.
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.
