Footbridge in Limes Wood The footbridge spans a deep chasm that contains a rushing stream - the content is the result of the merging of Cow Ark Brook and Mill Brook. The bridge is substantial, but the footpath is crumbling into decay and is hard to follow as it is smothered in vegetation.

Footpath heading towards Paper Mill Wood The footpath leaving Limes Wood is hard to follow, not being very evident on the ground and no indicating signage. It only appears in physical form at this point, before submerging into grass.

River Hodder in Paper Mill Wood The river in a particularly pleasant setting - but the footpath I was following completely disappeared and progress through the woods is almost impossible due to the extreme steep sided nature of the terrain. No footpath signs were in evidence, although I found a battered stile which was beyond useless.
