Dist:0.5km<br/>Looking down to Seend Head Mill, a long disused mill on the Semington Brook. Quite a small brook but still able to power a grist mill, perhaps it could be used to generate electricity for the grid.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The grid line cuts the farm neatly in two. I claim the bit that is to the west of it. They have a website http://uktv.co.uk/food/outlet/aid/622846 If you look very carefully at the foreground field you may see the extremely faint blue line marking the edge of the square.

Dist:0.7km<br/>At the junction between the footpath and the bridleway a small number of these Common Butterburs (Petasites hybridus) were flowering. Although the inflorescences of the common butterbur can be up to twenty centimetres high most of those in this area were eight to twelve centimetres although this one was about five or six centimetres. This early in the season no leaves were visible as the plant will come into flower before putting out the large leaves which will be apparent later in the season. Butterburs prefer moist or wet environments and again the ones in this area seems slightly atypical in that it is not especially damp, although the paths are shaded by trees and hedgerows here so the ground is not particularly prone to drying out.
