The north west approach to the village is best. The Roman road dips and sweeps through undulating country-side, rising to over 760 feet above sea level. Here and there between the high banks and hedges one glimpses the insistent motorway, rushing between the folds of the Wiltshire Downs. The earth is white with chalk and speckled by flint, and there is much which remains of the torts, lynchets and trackways. Ancient man took advantage of this high spot, and Baydon today is at the highest point in the county. One may well miss the village in the blinking of an eye.
