Some of the houses in Southwold Close have the advantage of looking out over Clifford Meadow (also known as Haydon Meadow), a Site of Special Scientific Interest which has never been ploughed or artificially fertilised. Wildlife preserved on the meadow include Pipistrelle bats and the Green-winged orchid. At the end of the track which runs parallel with this pathway is the track of the former Midland & South Western Junction Railway, part of which north of this point has been restored by Swindon & Cricklade Railway, a heritage railway group.
