Dist:0.1km<br/>Traffic splashes through a large puddle that has collected in a dip in the lane by Styles garden centre.

Dist:0.1km<br/>It took a few seconds for this creature on a steep hillside to notice me.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Marldon Footpath 1 runs alongside West End Nurseries and offers vistas between the lines of greenhouses and polytunnels.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The green lane from which this was taken is rather hemmed in by trees and bushes as it drops from Moles Lane to South Whilborough, so this view required a bit of leaning through the hedge.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Rows of polytunnels a little south of those shown in [[1671611]].

Dist:0.2km<br/>Another row of polytunnels to match those in [[1671611]] and [[1671616]]. The nursery has an informative website http://www.westendnurseries.co.uk/nursery.asp .

Dist:0.2km<br/>The lane runs along a ridge top so these fine trees are visible from some distance. Just to this side of them, Marldon Footpath 1 leaves the lane on the left.

Dist:0.3km<br/>A view from Moles Lane across the southeastern slopes of a valley system with South Whilborough at its foot. Tracks connecting the lane with the hamlet are hidden in the folds of the landscape. The field boundary junction on the further hill (which can be seen in [[603569]]) is in SX8766. Beyond are the northern outskirts of Torquay.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Another version of the view shown in [[1195965]] at a different season and from a little further west along Moles Lane. On the right, the scene also includes [[828629]].

Dist:0.3km<br/>The A380 Torbay bypass seen from the Moles Lane bridge, swooping down past the layby from which [[25834]] was taken. It is a dual carriageway for only 600 metres from the bridge.
©Derek Harper
Dist:0.3km<br/>Shortly before the two lanes merge into one, there is a heavy buildup of traffic on the main Torquay bypass – added misery to the drizzly afternoon. Still, we have plenty of time to wonder whether the driver on the left has a complete set of personalised number plates for each day of the year, or whether it is just chance that we happen to be looking at V 23 AUG on the 23rd of August.
