This image early April 2006, from the
Catcombe Old farm track that lies on the border of the
RAF Lyneham airbase (Ordnance Survey grid reference:
SU 007 774) looking west towards Avon Vale and Foxham.
The large Catcombe Wood (in shadow) on the right is
the lower section of deciduous wood which is on the
escarpment away from the airbase. The wood runs from
125 metres above sea level gradually down to about 85
meters at Wood Farm.
The grey farm buildings looking left from the white
Wood Farm house is Stockham Marsh Farm. The small low
lying reservoir is a water catchment area, which was
used to serve the Foxham area for drinking water.
