The A4 passes through Corsham The attractive little town of Corsham, at the edge of the Cotswolds, has received comparatively little attention on Geograph to date.  The A4 skirts through one side of it, flanked by houses in the warm-coloured local stone.  A more contemporary feature of the town is that it has embraced the mini-roundabout to a greater extent than others in the area (one of them can be seen at the junction in the distance).

Bridleway through The Larches The bridleway through this woodland is a good quality stony path so it comes as something of an unpleasant surprise when it reaches the low ground beside the By Brook where it becomes muddy and, after rain, wet.

Woodland beside the bridleway The bridleway runs between Hungerford Wood to the west and The Larches to the east - although other than being separated by the bridleway they appear to be a continuous stretch of woodland.  The image shows a view into The Larches from the bridleway.
