The bright greens and yellows of the surrounding Wiltshire landscape prevent this view of a tumbled-down cob and thatch cottage from feeling desolate.

'Cob' is the earth, sand and straw mixture used to build the cottage. Older buildings of cob, thatch, brick, Chilmark stone, flint and clunch are abundant in the Wiltshire countryside.
