Tennis Corner Wood is a picturesque woodland area located in the county of Wiltshire, England. Covering an approximate area of 50 acres, this wood is nestled within the enchanting landscape of the Woodford Valley, near the village of Woodford.

The wood is predominantly composed of native deciduous trees, such as oak, ash, and beech, which provide a lush and vibrant canopy during the warmer months. These trees, along with a variety of smaller shrubs and plants, create a diverse ecosystem that supports a wide range of wildlife.

Visitors to Tennis Corner Wood can expect to find a network of well-maintained footpaths and trails that allow for leisurely exploration. These paths wind their way through the wood, providing opportunities for peaceful walks, birdwatching, and nature photography. The wood is also a popular destination for dog walkers, who can enjoy the serenity and tranquility of the surroundings.

Throughout the year, Tennis Corner Wood showcases the beauty of each season. In spring, the wood bursts into life with a riot of colorful wildflowers, while autumn brings a spectacular display of foliage as the trees transition into vibrant hues of red, orange, and gold.

Tennis Corner Wood is managed by a local conservation group, which ensures the preservation of the woodland's natural beauty and protects its delicate ecosystem. The wood is open to the public during daylight hours and offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life.

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.
