The Gallops near Beckhamton
This area just along the A4 from Beckhampton in the direction of Calne and is accessed by a car park. In the woods there are a lot of tree carvings dating from the 1930s to the present day. There are lots of names, texts and romantic arborglyphs.
In our last visit two tree carvings dating to the Second World War were discovered. These may be associated with RAF Yatesbury which was operational during the Second World War and continued as a Radio School until the 1960s.
