Dist:0.4km<br/>This stile leads from a sheep field into a field where the grass is being cut for silage. In the distance vehicles can just be seen on the A55.

Dist:0.4km<br/>On the invisible footpath to Bretton Woods, which, according to the O.S. 25,000 map, should be following a hedge line to the field/hedge corner seen on the left of the photo. There is no longer any sign of that boundary on the ground, although the hedges from the corner on do still exist; also the pond with the trees to the right is shown on the map. The dark line running from right to left on the photo is a modern concrete farm road that is not shown on the map.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Although only a 'minor' road this is a main route from Kinnerton and beyond and on to Chester. The road to the left goes to Bretton, and just round the corner, in front of the white house, another road goes off to Dodleston.

Dist:0.6km<br/>This sad oak tree, battered and bruised due to its unfortunate position on Brick Road, doesn't seem long for this life. At least its associates in the field seem in better health. The prominent hill in the distance is Hope Mountain.

Dist:0.6km<br/>The Lesters Lane Junction with Brick Road near Bretton. In the distance are the gates to Bretton Waterworks. Many years ago there used to be a stone 'mounting block' on the right hand corner, near the gap in the hedge, which assisted horse riders to remount their horses. Possibly this was primarily for the hunt, which used to meet at the end of the 'Duke's Drive' a short distance away, just about where the A55 is now.

Dist:0.6km<br/>This tranquil track, heading for Balderton and formerly one of several carriage roads heading ultimately for Eaton Hall, gives no indication of the madness that is the A55 just a few metres to the left. Taken in the corner of SJ3563 the line of SJ36 runs across the track in front of the camera.

Dist:0.6km<br/>The carriage road from Eaton Hall to Bretton comes to an abrupt halt at this point cut through as it is by the A55 just over the hedge.

Dist:0.7km<br/>The gap in the crop use to be a hedge but now makes a handy footpath through the field.
