North of the village is Burderop Wood, c.120 acres (49 ha), designated a 'Biological Site of Special Scientific Interest' in 1971 due to the wet Ash-maple and acid Pedunculate oak-Hazel-Ash woodland.

Part of the Swindon, Marlborough and Andover Railway ran close to the north part of the village (grid squares E2-F2). The line was no longer used after March 1964 and part of the line through Burderop Wood was used as the route of the M4 motorway west of junction 15 in the 1970s.
