2012 : Golden daffodils by the B3095 Not a host, perhaps, but a delight to the eye for all that. Beyond the daffs we look across Danes Bottom to Long Knoll <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/ST7837">ST7837</a> faint but proud on the horizon.

2012 : North from the B3095 over Dane's Bottom The lower slopes of King's Hill to the right, Kingston Dairy, partly hidden by trees to the left is at the junction of Dane's Bottom and the Wylye Valley. Kingston Deverill, likewise partly hidden, stretches across the frame. The row of buildings standing proud further over is the hamlet of Whitepits. Whitepits Down rises above with a coombe which I have called Whitepits Bottom because it does not seem to have any other name. The top of Cold Kitchen Hill is in the distance.
