Looking directly west from the edge of Minchinhampton Common. The lower large field to the right is adjacent to the famous Woodchester Orpheus mosaic, part of possibly the biggest and most opulent Roman Villa in the UK. A replica of the mosaic is on display nearby at Prinknash Abbey. Villa May have been home to the governing family of this important area, with Cirencester only 14 miles away and Bath 27 miles.
