Corrugations in the barn Some corrugations for the walls, a bit for the roof. Plenty of grip for the ivy, though.

Beech trees, Wylye Valley The steep slope they are growing on is probably where harder chalk overlies the chalk marl of the valley floor. There once was a small quarry a bit further to the right along the slope.

2011 : Corner of a log pile near Boyton Boyton Bottom is in the background. Beech I think, there has been a lot felled in this area due to disease. Very sad. The up side is that it makes good burning wood, hope someone is taking advantage.

2011 : Minor road to Corton at Boyton The minor road along the south side of the Wylye Valley makes a far more interesting and quiet drive than the A36(T) along the north. But please, don't all rush there at once, especially when I go there.

2011 : Station Road with copper beech, Boyton Connects the minor road through Boyton and along the south of the Wylye Valley with the A36 along the north. The station has long gone, it was on the Warminster to Salisbury line. The bridge crosses a mill stream, the River Wylye is a few hundred yard further on. Note the copper beech.
