Towards Newman's Covert

An area of flat arable land at the north western part of this square, just cut by a footpath. The woodland on the right is Newman's Covert.

Permissive path near Chittlegrove

This is a section of track that for about 200 yards is not technically a right of way. The footpath goes across the field on the other side of the wall. However, everyone follows this clear track; most people are probably completely unaware that they have left the footpath. An example of where a path diversion should be applied for to bring the legal route in line with practical route?

Field south of Chittlegrove

A large field of wheat south of Chittlegrove, from the byway running across the southern part of the square. Chittlegrove (a farm) can be seen on the right horizon. The line of trees is on the north-south road called White Way.

Scots pines on the White Way

This is the White Way, a minor Roman road from Cirencester to Chedworth villa. Yes, apparently even the Romans had "B" roads. The pines are an interest in an otherwise very flat landscape.

Green Meadow Farm

The name is fairly apt, but it is a wheat field not a meadow. Looking north west from the minor road between Rendcomb and the White Way. At the trees the land falls away rapidly into a minor north-south valley.
