The Country Set discuss the form

If you're lucky enough to be at Melksham on a day when there's an evening meeting at Larkhill or Badbury Rings near Swindon (our two local Point to Point courses), you can have a great evening on The Downs.

What are they watching?


Coming home in the fourth

Plenty of country pubs on the way back too - stop at one of the villages on Salisbury Plain such as Shrewton or Tilshead, or at Devizes as you get back nearer to base.




Former route of Larkhill Military Railway

Larkhill is also home to a major military garrison (sorry - I didn't to round taking pictures of the MOD areas - I don't think that would have been appreciated!) and was server by the Larkhill Military Light Railway from Ratfyn junction, which carried on to Stonehenge airfield.




The Garrison Church of St Alban the Martyr, Larkhill

Built in brick, the church of St Alban the Martyr at Larkhill serves the military garrison that's based there. Taken on an autumn day in 2009, this picture shows it very quiet - not a sole in the churchgrounds, yet a busy road just a few yards away.
