Farm in Clyffe Pypard looking northwest down the sloping
escarpment towards Lyneham village and the RAF base
on the horizon.
The copper coloured farm house in the middle of the

of Woodhill. The bronze coloured hedgerow running right

which is the location of the mill mound, the site of
an old windmill. coincidentally named Windmill Hill.
The farm buildings on the extreme right edge of the
