Also the end (or beginning) of Trowbridge Road (to the right) and Lower Road (behind the camera). "The civil parish of Bratton, created in 1895, lies within Westbury Hundred and extends over 3,695 acres. The long, narrow shape of the parish is characteristic of the “springline parishes” which lie along the northern edge of Salisbury Plain from Westbury, through Bratton, Edington and West Lavington. Approximately two thirds of the parish lies on chalk downs to the south, rising to a height of over 750 ft. near Bratton Castle Iron Age camp. The northern section of the parish is low-lying clay land, with hedge-enclosed fields. Between chalk and clay lies a belt of Upper Greensand, and the village of Bratton is located at a point where springs emerge from the porous Greensand between the meadow land of the clay vale and the arable and downland above."
