Greenmere, Brightwell
Greenmere is an area of houses from the 1940s and 50s to the north of the old Brightwell village.
Although Brightwell-cum-Sotwell is the full name of the village, I've not heard anyone say they're from Sotwell. It's always just Brightwell.
Originally two separate villages they have been linked for a long time.

Roman Road, Greenmere, Brightwell
This is reputedly on the line of a Roman road between Dorchester and Silchester.
By comparison with other Roman highways there's not much left of this one.
Some field boundaries and a footpath over the Clumps just north of here, then this short bit of road and some more paths through Brightwell and onto the best bit, Mackney Lane, running for just over 1km south of the village before the line is lost.

Snail Cottage and the Wellsprings
One of a series of springs along here at the foot of the Sinodun Hills, this is one of several sources of the Mackney Brook, a disorganized sort of stream which makes its way via a series of diversions and side channels into the Mill Brook, eventually reaching the Thames at Wallingford.
