Woodchester village Looking directly west from the edge of Minchinhampton Common. The lower large field to the right is adjacent to the famous Woodchester Orpheus mosaic, part of possibly the biggest and most opulent Roman Villa in the UK. A replica of the mosaic is on display nearby at Prinknash Abbey. Villa May have been home to the governing family of this important area, with Cirencester only 14 miles away and Bath 27 miles.

Selsley Common from Rodborough Taken from somewhat undulating Gastrells School playing fields looking due west. This ridge is very popular with paragliders, hang-gliders, gliders and model gliders, can get a bit busy up there!

Brimscombe Mill This is the highest I have ever seen the Frome. The bench on the left should be on an island between the millrace and the weir, but is now in the middle of the river! The ground floor of the mill was flooded.
