Southwestern edge of Bunkers Hill Wood near Whittington

The last stretch of this is a public footpath. On the right of this view is a stile, which gives access to what appears to be a new public footpath, across fields, which is not shown on the 2006 edition of OS Explorer Map sheet 219.

Stile at southwest corner of Bunkers Hill Wood near Whittington

The little disc on the post is marked Staffordshire County Council, and requests that dogs be kept on leads.
