Half Moon Ground
Part of the Seven Fields Nature Reserve, an area of old meadow and woodland which is a remnant of the former farmland of this area before suburban Swindon arrived.
This entrance is off Kennet Avenue, a public road, hence the boulders to stop vehicle access.
The far boundary of the field follows the meander of a stream giving a roughly semi-circular shape, hence the name.

Oberon Way, Abbey Meads, Swindon
This pleasant suburban location is a crime scene. For some weeks cars parked hereabouts have been vandalised in an unusual fashion by having their anti-lock braking systems attacked. The perpetrators remained unidentified until recently when an off-duty police officer found teeth marks on the damaged parts of his car's brakes. Further forensic investigations confirmed that the offenders were of American extraction and members of the notorious Sciurus crime family http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/8456675.Furry_vandal_drives_police_nuts/
