The path runs from the old mill site in Lower Arles Wood to Poolbrook and on to Malvern. Rows of maize stubble remains in the field to the right of the path. Worcestershire Beacon and North Hill are in the distance.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Looking down from part way up the Ox Hill ridge towards the fields on the outskirts of Malvern.

Dist:0.2km<br/>On the edge of Poolbrook, itself a suburb of Great Malvern.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Looking from the high ground on one side of the hollow to the bungalows of Tudor Close (third row back). In between are the two storey houses of Brook Farm Drive almost hidden in the dip. 19th century maps show water here called "New Pool" - perhaps a mill pool?

Dist:0.3km<br/>Beyond the line of trees the expanding housing estates are waiting. How soon before they advance over the surrounding green fields?

Dist:0.3km<br/>The suburban road leading off here is Bredon Grove, with the Worcestershire Beacon (425m) in the distance.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The houses of Bredon Grove. Many bungalows built on what had been allotments since the opening of the nearby Foley Institute in 1888.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Looking up to the Ox Hill ridgeway, an ancient routeway from the Severn at the Rhydd to the Wyche Cutting.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Mostly bungalows on the southern stretch. Many built on allotment land dating back to 1888 when the Foley Institute was opened on Poolbrook Common.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Part of the Poolbrook council estate.

Dist:0.4km<br/>With North Hill in the background. The section of modern fencing is where a newer sewer pipe has been buried.

Dist:0.4km<br/>An unmetalled lane just north of St Andrews church off the common leading to a dozen houses.

Dist:0.4km<br/>On the ridgeway footpath to Guarlford. Instead of stiles, gaps between two fences allow the walker to pass through, but not the horses.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The top end of this field has dropped by at least two metres due to regular ploughing.
