Seen from the junction of Chapel an Fair lanes. As often happens with OS, the clump of trees on the horizon is not shown on the map. The clump is at SU5177 3114 and is thus in the next square to the north.

Dist:0.1km north<br/>The path runs along the hedge past the tree on the horizon. There are blackberries.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>Fair Lane is the one coming in from the left. Both of these lanes are single-track. A footpath that goes all the way to Avington strikes out to the right where the electricity pole is.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>The footpath leaves the minor road to Easton and heads across arable fields towards Mud Farm.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>This is the highest point of this footpath which is passing across the line of view. The copse in the background is in SU5230 and is unnamed. There is a mobile phone mast in it.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>The house is overgrown and boarded up and has been broken into. The windows of the barn at left are broken.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>The barn in the foreground is clearly in use, as is a cottage off-picture left. The rest of the farm buildings appear to be derelict.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>Looking towards Easton. Descending from its highest point, the footpath turns 90 degrees left at the hedge in middle distance. Woodland beyond is on Harley Hill.

Dist:0.6km east<br/>Walking towards Easton. The path has just turned sharp left, and turns sharp right at the hedge in middle distance.

Dist:0.6km north<br/>At the junction of Fair Lane and Long Walk, a smelly field of brassicas. This is about 1.5 km east of the M3.

Dist:0.7km west<br/>Looking south across SU5030 from SU5031. The ridge on the horizon is Chilcomb Down, over 2km away.

Dist:0.7km south<br/>Looking north from the B3404, Alresford Road, across the curiously named No Man's Land. Larkwhistle Farm in square SU5130 can be seen in the middle distance.

Dist:0.8km west<br/>Looking south along Long Walk. A February shower leaches the colour away.

Dist:0.9km northeast<br/>Only these sloes, scrub, nettles and a few broken slabs are now to be seen on the site of Mud Farm, which would have been to the right of this footpath. It must have been demolished perhaps 15 to 20 years ago. I spoke to a local who said he knew the man who demolished it but not when.

Dist:1.0km south<br/>This is a Science and Technology centre where visitors can get hands on with all sorts of gizmos.
