Access Lane from Lower Thornber Farm

The access lane reaches the Queen's highway by the stone barn, which appears to act like a functional lodge

Dairy Operations at West Thornber Farm

The farm has expanded, but there has been no attempt to deal with the four public footpaths that converge at this location. Hence I became lost and was wandering around the huge outbuildings, eventually finding the exit that was completely buried under nettles.

Footpath between West Thornber and Higher Agden

The footpath does not exist on the ground - but does on the map. There are no signs or stiles to assist in routefinding - just a long slog through very wet overgrown vegetation, making gaiters or waterproof trousers essential
