Dist:0.2km<br/>Close to the steep edge of the scarp slope of the Cotswold escarpment. Honey coloured Cotswold stones from a crumbling field boundary are scattered across the field in the foreground. Looking north west towards Buckholt wood in the distance.

Dist:0.6km<br/>A closer look at the building shown on the left of [[2219461]]. It dates from 1846 and consists of a seven-bay barn and a five-bay cattle shed, together forming an L shape; the barn has porches on both side, the larger western one featuring prominently in the centre of the image. http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-132714-barn-and-cattle-shed-approximately-150-m

Dist:0.6km<br/>This track is on the northern edge of Cranham Wood, which appears to be under the management of the National Trust. The Ordnance Survey maps are a little confusing depending on the scale. A bridleway marked as such on the 1:25K version doesn't show on the 1:50K map. The NT logo can be seen on the 1:50K map but not on the 1:25K map. Presumably, those tracks not shown as public footpaths or bridleways can safely be regarded as permissive footpaths.

Dist:0.6km<br/>The cottage, which is the traditional-looking building at the centre left, is supposedly listed: although it does not appear on the official listed buildings websites the local planning authority's records suggest that it is. Planning permission was granted for the significant additional structures that are under construction http://www.stroud.gov.uk/docs/planning/planning_application_detail.asp?AppRef=S.06/2261/FUL The viewpoint for this image was provided by the National Trust-managed Cranham Wood. The maps show public footpaths passing much closer the use of which would provide a closer look at the extensive works which are being carried out

Dist:0.6km<br/>Snow persisting on a steep north-facing bank above Overtown, seen from a gate where bridleway MCR/24/1 becomes 135/1. On the left is a listed barn and cattle shed, "a fine example of mid C19 utilitarian farm buildings" http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-132714-barn-and-cattle-shed-approximately-150-m .

Dist:0.6km<br/>Deserted this misty January day, the wood is managed by the National Trust. I was on my own here. 62 years ago the famous author George Orwell may well have gazed across to this wood from his temporary domicile at the Cranham Lodge sanatorium [[2239871]]

Dist:0.6km<br/>This is a view to the south-west along one of the various tracks and paths through the National Trust-managed woodland. Shortly after midday the mist formed overnight persists.

Dist:0.6km<br/>A view from footpath MCR/42/1 where it crosses the bottom of the valley, between Overtown and Cranham. Woods almost encircle the head of the valley.

Dist:0.7km<br/>This is a view south along the track seen here [[2240132]]

Dist:0.7km<br/>This is the same track as shown here [[2239490]] but a little further east. It is still a little misty.

Dist:0.7km<br/>The reason it gets cold in the northern hemisphere in winter is because the sun doesn't rise high enough above the horizon for it to transmit much heat. This photograph was taken shortly after midday and the air temperature is barely above freezing. To get a shot like this in the middle of June you'd have to be here at about the same time as the lovely Christine Bleakley has to get up to present 'Daybreak' with that Baggies supporter.
