Field near Coulston

Sizable open fields alternate in this area with small bocage-like meadows, usually by watercourses, as in this case. There are small streams along both sides of this field, and they eventually flow into the Semington Brook. View from a train on the main line between Pewsey and Westbury.

Taken from a passing train on the main railway line between Westbury and Pewsey, hence the poor quality. The trees to the right are in ST9755, as is the barn to the left of the nearest oak.
