Dist:1.0km south<br/>My map shows the barn at the end of this track as Potato Barn. So although Cripps sounds as though it belongs or belonged to a Mr Cripp it is probably someone making fun with words. Anyway, the crop on this Cotswold plateau is wheat not potatoes.

Dist:1.0km east<br/>Several pollards can be found near this track, interestingly known as Potlicker's Lane. Pollarding is the cutting back of a tree to encourage long, straight branches that are useful for fencing hurdles and other purposes; it is similar to coppicing but the new growth appears out of the reach of cattle, deer and other browsing animals. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollarding
