Dist:0.3km<br/>The wood seems to be unnamed. The map shows a linear earthwork running along its northeastern side, but this is on private land.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Walking towards Easton. The path has just turned sharp left, and turns sharp right at the hedge in middle distance.

Dist:0.5km<br/>There are many farm tracks in the area but not all of them are rights of way. This one is, a footpath from Avington to Larkwhistle Farm. But it doesn't always follow this track, soon it turns right along a field boundary.

Dist:0.5km<br/>This appears to be a large crop of wheat, ripening on Harley Hill. Typically of this summer it has been raining.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Only these sloes, scrub, nettles and a few broken slabs are now to be seen on the site of Mud Farm, which would have been to the right of this footpath. It must have been demolished perhaps 15 to 20 years ago. I spoke to a local who said he knew the man who demolished it but not when.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Looking towards Easton. Descending from its highest point, the footpath turns 90 degrees left at the hedge in middle distance. Woodland beyond is on Harley Hill.

Dist:0.6km<br/>There is a continuous footpath from Larkwhistle Farm to Avington. Here it follows one of the farm tracks, but does not always do so; just into the woods it diverts onto a woodland path.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Looking south west across land at Avington Manor Farm. The long line of woodland encloses the Duke's Drive.

Dist:0.6km<br/>This is the highest point of this footpath which is passing across the line of view. The copse in the background is in SU5230 and is unnamed. There is a mobile phone mast in it.

Dist:0.7km<br/>A footpath goes up the field boundary but seems to be little used. Unfortunately it had been raining so although I did not get wet from above I got saturated from brushing the water of the crop. This is oil seed rape, mainly post flowering. Interspersed were many poppies and a lot of cow parsley.

Dist:0.7km<br/>The footpath diverts from the farm track here onto a woodland path. I nearly missed the turning; it is not obvious.

Dist:0.7km<br/>I haven't seen this kind of gate before. The galvanised arms are hinged at the bottom and can be moved outwards, slackening the chains. Made by British Gates & Timber Ltd, Biddenden, Kent.

Dist:0.9km<br/>The footpath emerges from the woodland into this separate arable field, that is almost entirely surrounded by the woodland.

Dist:0.9km<br/>The path runs along the hedge past the tree on the horizon. There are blackberries.

Dist:0.9km<br/>A beautiful downland setting for this large farm on the minor road form Avington to the A31.
