Dist:0.5km<br/>Opened in 1934, the A580 (East Lancs Rd) carried about 31,000 vehicles per day in 2010 [Official Count Data ]. A major source of ambient noise, it was originally intended to reach the east of Lancashire, but never made it, and was "replaced" by the motorway network.

Dist:0.6km<br/>This sand pit (approx 17m deep) was the last of a series which exploited the glacial deposits on either side of the A572 between Newton-le-Willows and Lowton during the 19th/20th centuries (nearby are Sandfield Hall and Sandup Farm!). It has now almost completely recolonised with trees, though only 20 years ago there was considerable open grassland.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Much of Highfield Moss has been reclaimed for farming over the last 150 years, often originally divided-up into quite small fields. Here is an ivy-covered tree taken around dawn, showing clearly its position on a dyke boundary line. Several other lone tress are shown along similar boundaries.
