Dist:0.1km<br/>It is difficult to do justice to this major intersection of five rights of way, and numerous other paths, within the wood. The gate is a significant exit from the wood called Red Gate.

Dist:0.1km<br/>This area of Ampfield Wood is called Red Gate. The track rising up the slope is heading west. In fact this is a crossroads as the Monarchs Way long distance path crosses the image from left to right.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The area is mainly woodland, but here an open stretch of arable farmland is found, laid to grass this season.

Dist:0.5km<br/>This bridleway is the route of the Monarch's Way, a long distance path from Worcester to Shoreham following the approximate route of Charles 2nd escaping from the Parliamentary forces in 1651.

Dist:0.6km<br/>This footbridge over a small stream is significant enough to be shown on the 1:25,000 scale map. As this is a bridleway presumably horses just get their feet wet.

Dist:0.7km<br/>It is difficult to understand what has happened here. It looks as though there has been a stand of willows, but that they have been thinned out in the background. In the foreground they have all been cut down and saplings planted for the next crop.

Dist:0.8km<br/>Crossroads at Lower Slackstead. Left and east to Winchester, right and west to Braishfield. The side road, following the sign pointing towards the photographer leads to Farley church and Upper Slackstead. Behind the signpost, there are rather dilapidated sheds (probably pig sheds) at Bells Ground farm.
