2007 : View from Bathford Hill
Image: © Maurice Pullin Taken: 4 Sep 2007
Taken from a clear patch on Bathford Hill. On the distant skyline in the centre is a row of trees planted along the top of Freezing Hill. ST7271 Immediately beneath them, and just below the skyline is the top of Little Solsbury Hill. ST7667 Moving left we can see the northern end of Lansdown, where the battle of Lansdown was fought in 1643. Lansdown Hill continues to the edge of the picture. To the right of Freezing Hill part of Charmy Down appears, there is a disused airfield at the top which is still put to good use by model aeroplane and glider enthusiasts. About half way down we have part of Batheaston, the railway line out of Bath and the Batheaston bypass are almost hidden by the trees at the bottom.
