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/

Penhill Copse
A strip of woodland extending off the Seven Fields Nature Reserve. Possibly preserved as an environmental amenity, but more likely because it's on a slope too steep to build on.
Whatever the reason, it's a nice bit of green amongst all the houses.

Avebury Road, Penhill, Swindon
Penhill is a local authority housing estate developed in the early to mid 1950s. Swindon Borough Council took advantage of the Town Development Act 1952 to expand at a rapid rate in the post-war years. The theme for the naming of the roads and closes in the estate is Wiltshire towns and villages. Avebury is famous for its old rocks http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/567773

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.
