A grand building with a position facing north towards Hergest Ridge.

Dist:0.1km<br/>A stunningly handsome farmhouse, viewed from Offa's Dyke Path. Its currently completing renovations to the house and all outbuildings also, quite an undertaking.

Dist:0.2km<br/>As seen from Offa's Dyke National Trail near where it joins the lane to Gladestry from Michaelchurch.

Dist:0.3km<br/>View north, from where Offa's Dyke Path enters the square. The white houses are on the outskirts of Gladestry, at the northern end of the square.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Situated on the south side of the lane is W H Hughes & Son. Perhaps an unusual place to find a funeral director, but this is an unusual business, which not only deals in 'traditional' funerals, but also specialises in eco-friendly green funerals, humanist ceremonies and hand-painted coffins. http://www.purplefunerals.com/ [[1723718]]

Dist:0.5km<br/>View westwards along the lane. Offa's Orchard on the right. http://www.purplefunerals.com/offas.html

Dist:0.5km<br/>From the lane looking west to Gobe Hill and Glan-yr-afon wood on its right-hand side. Colva Hill in the distance. The Gladestry Brook flows along the tree-line on the left.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Looking east at the entrance to the Offa's Orchard green burial ground on the north side of the lane. The orchard here is planted with rare and endangered species of native fruit trees and certainly provides a peaceful last resting place in beautiful countryside. http://www.purplefunerals.com/offas.html [[1723700]]

Dist:0.5km<br/>Looking west along the lane towards the premises of The Purple Funeral Company [[1723700]]. The western tip of the Hergest Ridge on the right and Colva Hill in the distance.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Looking north from the lane to land which rises steeply to the west end of the Hergest Ridge. Behind the house is Offa's Orchard burial ground. Fine snowman on the left, built before the main snows of January 2010 arrived. http://www.purplefunerals.com/offas.html

Dist:0.5km<br/>A well tended vegetable garden and flowering shrub borders in this persons garden. Yes, and a woofy dog. Walkers passing on the ODP must enliven what would otherwise be a very long day for a gundog / retriever type dog. He seemed well versed in keeping up an incessant rhythm of deep woofs until I had well and truly left his domain. Part of Hergest Ridge behind.

Dist:0.5km<br/>View west down the steep slope and overlooking the rooftop of the house below. In the middle distance is Gladestry village and on the horizon is Colva Hill. Just to the right of the telegraph pole top is the spire of St Mary's Church.

Dist:0.6km<br/>This is the narrow lane from Michaelchurch adopted by the Offa's Dyke National Trail - entering the village from the south east.
