Good horse country. The trees are on the western edge of the extensive woods that surround Berry Pomeroy castle and the Gatcombe brook.

The lane past [[804294]] continues along the Gatcombe Brook valley towards the hamlet of tiny Netherton.

By the lane at Netherton Cottage. The meadow is in the valley of the Gatcombe Brook.

Next to Netherton cottage, the lane on the left leads to Gatcombe and the lane straight on to the A381 (the former Totnes-Newton Abbot turnpike) and Uphempston. Behind is Netherton, and a permissive footpath through East Hill Wood to Castle Mill Farm, below Berry Pomeroy castle (which is part of the John Musgrave Heritage Trail).

The lane winding up on the left of the house is shown in [[804334]]. By the building it turns to the west (left as seen) towards Gatcombe Mill, the route taken by the John Musgrave Heritage Trail and the Torbay-Totnes Trail (from which this is taken).
