Dist:0.1km<br/>Plenty of eager posers in a field next to Thorncombe footpath 93. An electric fence stops them coming nearer. Behind them, a single oak tree stands apart in the field.

Dist:0.4km<br/>A break in the treelined and partly sunken lane gives this glimpse across a narrow field, just 40 metres across here, which runs down the hill beside the lane for 250 metres. Stinging nettles catch the evening sun.

Dist:0.7km<br/>A red-legged partridge, Alectoris rufa, skulks by a hedge near the junction of Gashay Lane and Sadborow Lane. The Blackwater River flows (from left to right) just beyond the fencing, where a footbridge connects the fields.
