Dist:0.6km east<br/>The Black Mountains form the dramatic backdrop to this pasture, with Hay Bluff (677m) the high point on the right (northern) end of the ridge. This was taken from Fair Oak, a private house that has ceased to be a working farm, though OS maps still call it Fair Oak Farm

Dist:1.4km southwest<br/>A farmer who has always lived near this river told me about the varieties of fish which abounded here in his youth. The light-excluding canopy of mature trees has restricted what can grow in the river and is now being removed to improve conditions in the river. This looks unpleasantly bare just now but when the coppiced and pollarded trees sprout new growth it will look better and I'm told it will be better for getting more plants and creatures in the river. Maybe I'll come again next year to show the new growth in a Geograph.

Dist:1.5km southwest<br/>This well-built bridge wasn't anchored securely and was moved by floodwater in the Escley Brook. Luckily two trees have stopped it going further. We've had flood conditions every year recently but the bridge didn't get floated until this year (2008), probably in September.
