| Comments: | The early part of the walk was quite enjoyable but afterwards there was quite a lot of stony farm track and some difficult places to navigate. The route through Harrop Lodge was impassable so I changed the route and returned to the car via the road. Not a route I would wish to repeat. | ||

A very new looking Pinewood
Impressive gates at the edge of the plantation
The wife . . .
and Old Ned, disappointing piles of stones that may possibly mark ancient burial grounds
A sunken gate - not easy to navigate
Harrop Lodge
An impressive outdoor entertaining area at Little Cross
