Image, a view across the site of the medieval village of Wyck, built on a sloping platform above the Nadder valley in the background, which is crossed by the railway line from Yeovil. In the foreground a track leads to Wick Farm, built on the southeast side of the earthworks; the track just joining it on the extreme left leads to the other side of the same farm. http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=210473&resourceID=2

Spindle tree (Euonymus europaeus), Tisbury
Four thousands of years before the invention of the spinning wheel all the thread used for woollen cloth was spun by women twirling a stick called a spindle between their fingers. The spindle tree got its name because its thin stems came to be used for this purpose.

After pollination the pistil ripens to the beautiful autumn fruit. This is a bright pink, four lobed capsule, which splits to reveal the bright orange flesh surrounding each hard yellow seed.

Guelder rose (Viburmum spulus), Tisbury
The leaves of this small shrub, sometimes called the snowball tree, are like those of the maple. They have three to five lobes and are set in pairs along the stems. Bright green in spring, they mellow to rich orange and russet in autumn, setting off the translucent scarlet berries. These, for all their ripe beauty, are bitter, but birds eat them.
