Dist:0.4km<br/>The village is bisected by this ditch which at least has the virtue of not being filled with rubbish as would surely be its fate in a larger settlement.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The trail is just visible as the worn line through the remains of last season's crop.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Many buildings in Westborough exhibit lias stone walling. This stone is poor by comparison with the limestones of only a few miles away. Other examples of its use can be found in several villages around Newark on Trent including Collingham, Langford, Dry Doddington and Long Bennington.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Taken from the footbridge. The river is running very high and muddy although there hasn't been much heavy rain. This deep ford is only passable by cars in drought conditions. The square boundary crosses the river just beyond the depth marker on the far side of the road. The trees on the bend are in [[SK8644]].

Dist:0.5km<br/>The River Witham flows from right to left. Note the turbulence as the water flows over the weir at this point.

Dist:0.5km<br/>This deep ford on Fallow Lane is only passable by tractors and that is debatable when the river is running this high. The road sign in Foston points to Westborough via a footbridge only.
