Dist:0.2km<br/>A car speed past on this busy A road that provides an alternative route south from Milton Keynes to the A5 and the M1. The sandy nature of the soil in this area (Woburn Sands is only a short distance north from here) encourages the growth of Gorse and Broom, both of which are in flower in the late spring photo.

Dist:0.2km<br/>A profusion of Broom and Gorse flowers in this late spring photo. This was taken adjacent to the A4012. I assume that the ditches here are lined with paving stones to prevent collapse into the ditch of the friable sand and gravel soil. There was a quarry for gravel extraction across the road from here.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Some very healthy-looking cuckoo pint leaves next to the fence bordering the northeastern side of the lane see in [[[367495]]] Cuckoo Pint is also known as Wild Arum, and also as Lords & Ladies, but this latter name is usually reserved for it in its red-berries-on-a-stick phase.

Dist:0.5km<br/>This is the view back down the lane through Aspley Woods near New Wavendon Heath from near to its junction with the A5130 (see [[[371505]]]). As can be seen, the lane is lined on both sides with a fairly close-boarded fence.

Dist:0.7km<br/>I must admit that I hadn't noticed "Mermaid's Pond" when I looked at the map for this location, so unfortunately I didn't visit it ... maybe next time I'm in the vicinity. This gated path leads off Aspley Lane into Aspley Wood from opposite the [[[370779]]].

Dist:0.8km<br/>This well-maintained driveway - which is also the route of a public footpath - leads to Birchmoor Farm. The dark shape of the farm itself can just be made out behind the rightmost tree.

Dist:0.9km<br/>The woodland around here was very attractive, with this sunlit footpath looking particularly appealing. The view from a little way up this path looking back can be seen here [[[367489]]].
