Situated near the village of Wood, it covers an area of approximately 10 acres and is known for its picturesque beauty and tranquil atmosphere. The wood is predominantly composed of deciduous trees, including oak, beech, and ash, which provide a rich canopy and create a diverse ecosystem.

The woodland is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and walkers, offering a network of well-maintained footpaths that wind through the trees and meander alongside a gentle stream. These paths provide visitors with the opportunity to explore the wood at their own pace, taking in the sights and sounds of the natural surroundings.

Round Wood is home to a variety of wildlife, with numerous bird species, including woodpeckers and songbirds, inhabiting the area.

Interesting building in High Street, Dilton Marsh Viewed from the corner of Alan Powell Lane. The building extends for nearly 20 metres away from the north side of High Street. Now in residential use, it looks like it used to be a church or perhaps a school, but research into its previous usage has been surprisingly fruitless.
