The old A4104 has now become a parking lot and storage space at this end. Still a right of way, but barely accessible over a large mound of earth.

Landing strip near Woodmancote

This marker denotes the eastern end of the private grass landing strip to the north of the village. Large barns serving as hangars on the left. The Malvern Hills in the distance (the Worcestershire Beacon is just above the wind sock). See SO9043 : Landing strip near Woodmancote for the reverse view.

Farm track near Defford

Heading east with Bredon Hill on the right. The landowner here kindly allows access along several permitted pathways, not just the public rights of ways like this one.

Path to woodland near Porter's Ashbed

Looking north-west to an isolated wood near the Defford airfield. The landowner kindly allows access to this wood and several other private paths nearby. The public footpath ends at the corner of the wood, but a sign there reads "Visitors are permitted to enjoy this space, so long as dogs are kept under control and no wildlife, timber or flora are disturbed. No horse riding or motor vehicles please". I found the area most relaxing and at this time of year there are bluebells flowering in the wood.
