Bossington, at the foot of Bossington Hill and on a loop road from the A39, merges with the hamlet of Lynch; it is a pretty village, with whitewashed sandstone rubble houses.
Middle, Nether and Over Wallop line the Wallop Brook that joins the River Test above Bossington.
Bossington is part of the Holnicote Estate, which was given to the Trust by Sir Francis Acland in 1944.
Lying near the coast below Bossington Hill, these cottages over- look a stream that once powered a corn mill.
Cossington lies on the Polden Hills, overlooking the Levels.
New Rossington, a village lying to the south of Doncaster, was created when the colliery was sunk into the rich South Yorkshire coalfield.
The winding gear and smoke-belching chimney of the colliery dominate the end of the council houses of West End Lane, New Rossington, at a time when coal was still king in South Yorkshire.
On the right is the former Ossington Coffee Palace.
The small village based around the manor of Rossington was enlarged to its west side once coal reserves had been found.
Much coal mining took place nearby at Edlington and New Rossington, but nature is reclaiming what little remains of those industrial scars.
The river weaves its way southwards from the pastures of Quorn and Cossington into the almost solidly developed northern edge of the city between Birstall to its west, and Thurmaston
Thank God that 19th- and 20th-century blight has somehow failed to desecrate Cossington.
