Track to Greenhurst Hey

Most of the length of this track to the farm and beyond is surfaced with these upside-down concrete railway sleepers, a good choice as they will neither rot nor rut and are probably not very susceptible to frost damage. The track is a public footpath.

This pair of cottages with their stone mullioned windows looks as old as any in the area (probably 17th century) but is not listed. It was being renovated at the time of the photograph.
