Great Result I'm so glad he's home with his family.

Scooby is, quite rightly, getting alot of extra love and cuddles now!!!! And he got alot before the event. What the article fails to mention is just how great the PET PATROL SERVICE was. How informative, friendly and supportive as well as getting stuck in and helping comb the woods looking for Scooby. Well done Tony.

The woods are called "Wellhead Woods", Westbury.

The spring for Wellhead Stream is in these woods, just by the Wellhead Pumping Station.

The term "Westbury Woods" is one that has cropped up since kids from all over the town started using the woods for skate-boarding and BMX in the woods about 10 years or more ago.

I grew up in Wellhead Lane.

The woods are "next" to and "at the end of" Wellhead Lane.

The article says "near to". The lane peters out now into a footpath onto Wellhead Drove which runs along the southern side of the woods.

The path used to be wide-enough for a car in the late 70s and early 80s and then bollards were erected to stop cars and the lane got gradually narrower.

My point is that the woods are unmistakeably "Wellhead Woods".

The term "Westbury woods" could mean any woods in the parish of Westbury. There are several, not least being the one on the Grassy Slope and Chalky Walk escarpment across the other side of Wellhead Valley from Wellhead Woods.

There is also Old Dilton Woods (actually in Westbury parish).

There are more woods along the main entrance lane up the the White Horse from Newtown.

does it really matter russell?

not to worry as soon it will have a bypass running through the middle of it!!! its a beautiful piece of countryside. shame we have to destroy it!!

oh shut up you plonker who cares what the woods are called, why do you have to nit pick every quote on this website. we used to call the woods grassy slopes and i too have lived in westbury all my life and will continue to call them this if thats all right with you??!!

I don't care what you think, not least because what you say is usually total nonsense.

Let's look at the rubbish you've said this time:

1. Gratuitous name-calling.
2. I think many people do like to know the correct name for places.
3. I don't pick at every quote - far from it. This is gross exageration.
4. The slope up the escarpment is Grassy Slope. Wellhead Woods (aka "Westbury Woods by those who don't know the correct name) is not on the escarpment. If you call these woods "grassy Slope" you have a very muddled way of naming things.
5. If you have really lived in Westbury long enough to grow up, its about time you actually knew the difference between the woods and Grassy Slope.

Having said that, of course you are perfectly entitled to call it what you like. You can be as silly as you want and I don't care.

Ho well Seems our Heather is going to London to feed the pigeons. We will all have to find a new toy to play with. On the positive side though Westbury is about to become a far nicer place to live. Bye Bye Heather dont slam the door on the way out.

My god there is a lot of poison for Russell here, same old faces plus perhaps some new registrations just to change the face of the poster.

Maybe what Russell said is boring to many but so what.

The bile the rest of you wrote was pretty pathetic too. Clear who has more grace and maturity.

I have no idea what his doing in a Badger's hole. Perhaps his trying to make little badgers. Who are we to question his sexual orientation.
