Countryside next to the A303 This field is on the south side of the dual carriageway main road between Hart Coppice visible on the left, and Fonthill bushes which is on the other side of the main road. The road in the foreground would appear to be part of the old single track A303 before it was upgraded to a dual carriageway.
