Bus stop, westbound A4 west of Woolhampton

It's served by the excellent half-hourly No.1 bus between Reading and Newbury, a black double-decker with on-board wi-fi. Once out of the Reading suburbs and satellites the bus really gets moving.

The kennels themselves are out of sight up round to the left. A satellite photo doesn't show these gates and flank walls. On the skyline is Great Mounts Copse.

Hall Court, north of Woolhampton

From New Road Hill the view is of a spacious setting for a house of character, disfigured by a lopped tree and the garish paraphernalia of horse-riding.
