Walton Wood

Farm track across Guy's Bank The public right of way (a bridleway) runs through a narrow strip of fenced land just over the hedge on the right, but you're hard pushed to see it, let alone follow it, in the summer, for undergrowth.

A good attempt to block the bridleway A raingun was watering the potatoes just off shot to the left here; its hose reel had been left right across the bridleway, although a bike (or horse) could just about squeeze through against the hedge.
