Dist:1.6km northwest<br/>Scots pines were used to mark drovers' routes and stances. While these trees are probably too young, they may have been planted to tradition replacing a previous tree. This crossroads, on the edge of Lyonshall is on the road to Worcester and would have been a busy route with cattle being driven from Wales to Worcester and beyond. The habit of planting pines on hill tops may also have had a navigation function, although in recent years many such clumps have been lost to the wind or forestry.
