View of a field and woodpile south of Hillview Farm There's a large pile of felled logs just behind the fence on the right at the top of the hill. This is adjacent to the footpath from Atterley to Shirlett.

Hawthorne Farm from the south Approaching the farm through sheep-fields from Muckley Cross; the legal path goes to the right of the house, but there seems to have been an acceptance that the gateway into the farmyard to the left of the house is in more common use.

OS benchmark - Hawthorne Farm barn An OS cutmark in the bricks of a barn at Hawthorne Farm; originally levelled at 164.638m above Ordnance Datum Newlyn. This one's a bit awkward to access, as a cattle shed has been built onto the end of the original barn, leaving only a narrow gap to poke a head or camera through (not both at the same time)
