Dist:0.2km<br/>The Gore is a triangular shaped hollow at the western end of Burnham. Could it once have been a gravel pit? Taken from the corner of Hitcham Lane and Taplow Common Road looking north-west.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The sunken footpath bisects 2 fields used as grazing for cattle and this bridge acts as a path for the cattle to get from one field to the other. This cow seemed very surprised to see me!

Dist:0.4km<br/>Give certain members of the public a frozen pond and the temptation to test the thickness, hardness and slipperiness of the ice is too much. Here a set of dining chairs fails to break the ice while further out a yellow and black kiddy's bicycle and an orange plastic bread basket are also still on the surface. This pond is shown with more or less the same shape on the 1882 Ordnance Survey map.

Dist:0.4km<br/>There are several roads of terraced housing in this gridsquare dating from the mid-nineteenth century to the second half of the twentieth. Clonmel Way, seen here looking north-east, is an example of the latter.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The footpath passes through this strange little tunnel / bridge, that naturally has attracted a fair amount of graffiti.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The village of Burnham was mentioned in the Domesday Book. And the first church was probably built about 500 AD. The present building was probably started in the 12th Century.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The parish church straddles an easting gridline; the tower and west half are in this square. "C12 nave; C14 chancel. C16 tower. Flint rubble and red brick" http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-43884-church-of-st-mary-burnham . View from [[2171710]].

Dist:0.6km<br/>This crucifix seemed very stark in design and even more so when seen against the clear blue sky.
