From the high ground close to Brian's home in Broomy Hill, Hereford, there are extensive views across the countryside with the Malvern hills in the far distance. This view is possibly from the top of Adam's Hill a short distance along the lane from where he lived looking to the east. If this is the case he has deliberately excluded the city of Hereford, its church spires and the Cathedral tower, which nestle in the middle-distance.
