Dist:0.5km<br/>Not large enough to be named as a ford on the map, and even on a wet day like today just about fordable (with boots). But obviously it does get worse otherwise why provide a footbridge (which was very slippery).

Dist:0.6km<br/>This Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust reserve is on the site of mediaeval chalk pits. It is now one of the best downland sites in the country. Highlights are the cowslip population, which make it one of the key sites for the Duke of Burgundy butterfly, of which it is the foodplant; its orchids, one of which, the diminutive Musk Orchid, has this as one of its key sites; and the parasitic Knapweed Broomrape, which grows among the Greater Knapweed here. This photo is of one of the paths through the reserve.
