Woodside Farm, Wettenhall Woodside Farm, Wettenhall, seen from the (long) drive, which is also a public footpath. Big herd of beef cattle here - and signs of the usual redevelopment of outbuildings as residential accommodation (?) - resulting in obstruction of the footpath - hopefully only temporarily.

Blasted oak, Wettenhall Blasted oak tree in field near Woodside Farm, Wettenhall. Taken from the footpath running west, north and then NE to Darnhall. The Darnhall radio telescope (linked to Jodrell Bank) is just visible in the distance, immediately to the right of the tree. Field used for grazing beef cattle.

Boot and Slipper pub, Wettenhall The Boot & Slipper stands at the junction of Winsford Road and Long Lane. Wettenhall doesn't have much of a village centre, being more a parish of scattered farms, but St. David's church is just down Long Lane - so I guess a pub plus a church = a community!
