One Brown Cow is a boutique gift shop specialising in quality jewellery, designer and contemporary gifts at 40 High Street, Amesbury, Wiltshire. They are only a stones-throw (more a pebble toss than a trilithon hurl) from the Countess Road roundabout on the A303. Clearly a place you might want to stop off and visit - along with some other smashing shops in Amesbury - when the traffic on the A303 has slowed to a miserable crawl.
One Brown Cow found an open-access Traffic England) Highways Agency traffic camera close to Solstice Park, Amesbury. Take a look here to see the latest view of the A303 at that location.
Further west, there is a similar camera at Mere on the dual-carriageway section there.
In fact, I owe a bit of an apology to the Highways Agency, the Traffic England site is actually pretty good and informative. Go here to find their interactive map. If you want to access the cameras, you will need to click the button next to the camera icon to the right of the map.
UPDATE:
One Brown Cow (@onebrowncow) has just got back to us to say that the Solstice Park camera isn't fixed - at the time of writing, it is now looking back up the A303 towards Beacon Hill and the ever-growing traffic queue.
