Dist:0.3km north<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:0.6km north<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:0.7km north<br/>The highland breed of cattle has a long and distinguished ancestry, not only in its homeland of western Scotland, but also in many far-flung parts of the world. One of Britain's oldest, most distinctive, and best known breeds, that has a long, thick, flowing coat of rich hair and sweeping horns, the Highlander has remained largely unchanged over the centuries. There is a small herd of these cows roaming freely around the park.
