Footbridge below the old cottage The original line of the footpath previously used this bridge, but since the path's been diverted a little to the west due to expansion of the clay workings above, this is now visited less often.

Abandoned farm at Darley This substantial farmhouse, with a scattering of outhouses nearby, lies abandoned in the woods near Darley. It looks in reasonable condition from a  distance, but once close up, the cracks appear, and some of them are big enough to let daylight right through walls.

Footpath into the woods - Honeypot Coppice This has the look and feel of quite an old right of way; it leads down towards the Dean Brook valley, and a couple of abandoned farm buildings.

Footpath in the corner of a field, Linleygreen The path west of here runs across open fields, before diving into a 'green lane' complete with bluebells, just where the new waymarker sits at the top of the copse.

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.
