Wavy lines and dipping soil
This view along the southern edge of Cricklade is an open space, bounded to the north by modern housing. Varying land levels, picked out by striped mowing, show the remnants of the old Saxon town walls. Built around 1,000 years ago the town was protected by three ditches, with a stone wall on an embankment to the left. The houses are inside what was the old town.

The Queen and fritillaries
A mosaic to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee of 2012 was laid in the Saxons Rest garden. The mosaic is made of coloured tiles and glass. It was designed by Cricklade Art Group members Ann Jelley and Ed Muir, and created by mosaic artists Debbie Stirling, Lucy Loquette and Yvette Green.
It denotes the town crest with fritillaries - an important species found locally - and a Saxon design border.
