Poppies 2011 - locations?

A4 near Marlborough. One field absolutely full of them:

Not the best of shot but it was again grey and overcast this morning.

It's just before the Indian, near the old petrol station on the road from Marlborough to Hungerford, signposted Park Farm. Be warned there's nowhere to turn a car around easily and the lane is one car wide.

A bit easier as I was on a motorbike, it's probably easier to park on the main road and walk down. Don't go too far up the lane as the hedge gets really high.

The GF told me about a field she seen on her way home from work yesterday so I drove past this afternoon on my way back from Oxford it’s not a full field but covers a very large area of the field and looks very promising but didn’t have camera on me so will be going back tomorrow.
It’s on a road that runs parallel to the A34 between Winchester and the A303 called Christmas hill on Google it’s called Worthy down but in the maps it’s called South Wonston you cannot see the field from the A34
Hope the map helps

Here's a poppy field near where I live in North Oxfordshire, just off the A422 on the East side of Middleton Cheney.

There's a few more photos of them on my flickr.
 
There's a small field behind Wooley Edge services, another field near Emley but it looks difficult to get to (on foot) I believe there is another field near Bretton near the paintball centre.
Hope this helps!

Ive been looking for poppy fields up north for years, last year I saw 2 fields on the way to York (south of York) on the main road we were/all the family, with screaming grandchildren in the campervan gong on a family holiday in a static to Whitby, I was delighted to see them and said Im gonna go down the next road and park up, to go back for some shots wife said take shots on the way back, worse thing is we didn't go back the same way, :bang: but I know exactly were they were and this year Im going in the car


Id be interested if anyone else knows any up north :thumbs:

There's a strip of poppies just outside Redcar - on the road to Marske, not a field full though. This thread has just spurred me to go and shoot them myself :)
 
Noticed there were quite a few "popping" up 5 mins walk from where I live so inspired by this thread I may just take a walk tonight :)
 
If you want to travel further afield, I just spent 3 weeks in France, and the drive from Calais to Nantes, via Dieppe, Caen, Rennes, St Nazaire etc... Poppies everywhere, beautiful.
 
A1079 just north of Pocklington on the way to York there is a fantastic field, you can park at the front of the bus stop.
