Salisbury, Cley Hill and a hover fly...

Cley Hill, Wiltshire. Local legend says that the hill was created by the Devil, who was carrying a big sack of earth to bury the town of Devizes, probably as punishment for turning to Cristianity. He stopped to ask a traveller the way, who realising what the devil was going to do told him that he was travelling from Devizes and it was so far away that his hair had turned grey during the journey. Upon hearing this the devil decided to give up the evil deed and dumped the earth at the side of the road. (Sounds perfectly believable to me!)

The return of the Heddington Steam Rally

A selection of oddities from the local Steam rally, from rusty relics of a bygone era to roaring ozone killing tractor pulls and a beautiful Harris hawk from the falconery display.
