Storm Arwen chaos at Rothley Crossroads Another view of the fallen trees and damage to the dry stone wall when Storm Arwen hit. Thin, exposed belts of east - west trees were particularly badly hit by the wind from the north. The 17 or so large trees that were thrown directly across the road must have taken a considerable effort to clear.

Dry stone wall surrounding wood A very well built wall, with an elegant rounded corner at this point. Sadly, it's suffered considerable damage on its eastern side, probably another casualty of Storm Arwen.
