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?

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.
