View from Bathford Hill Taken from open ground near Brown's Folly. The local TV transmitter near the left hand edge is at the top of Bathampton Down ST7765 which has Bathampton at its foot. The higher of the two roads in this area is the A36 to Beckington and Warminster. The lower is a local road going to Batheaston via a toll bridge over the River Avon. The hill to the right is the bottom of Lansdown hill, and the countryside between is north Somerset looking toward Farmborough and Pensford.

University of Bath
The Lakeside walk in the Newton Park campus of Bath Spa University is my favourite place to go between lectures. The natural beauty of this campus is one of the reasons I chose to apply to this university. I still find it crazy how quickly I can feel immersed in the great outdoors, whilst still being close to the university buildings. Filled with swans, ducks, herons and a 15th century tower across the lake, there is plenty to sit back and appreciate. #Trovember Photo Contest
