The Pheasant (2), Britons Lane, Linley Brook An attractive rural pub in the small rather scattered village of Linley Brook. Back in 2004, there was an application to convert the pub into residential use, but this was not accepted, and today it remains in use as a pub.

On the footpath towards Nordley At this point, the path is a reasonably well-marked affair; this is not so true further northeast.

Footpath back towards Cross Lane Heads Little effort had been made to maintain this path through the crop - Daft Dog and I were forced to wade, thigh deep in my case, through the wet crop. Great fun. All the stiles and gates are in place, but the path is rarely used.

Best of luck with THIS stile... The stile's there, and quite new. What isn't so obvious in the photo is the 3-strand barbed wire fence that completely blocks it. Daft Dog went under the rickety gate, and I climbed it, as I didn't much fancy lacerating my legs.

The Pheasant at Linley no more Sadly it looks like the optimism in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2686355">SO6797 : The Pheasant (2), Britons Lane, Linley Brook</a> was unfounded; the signage has now gone, and the pub appears to be no longer trading. All the evidence points to it having closed down.
