Roofs of Lane Head beyond walls and gate Lane Head is a small settlement between the larger villages at Woodland and Copley. The view is from close to the line of a public footpath which passes to the left of the nearest tree and then Lynesack Farm beyond it.

Bridleway through Cowclose Plantation The path heading west through the plantation on the north side of the River Gaunless. It's attractive enough but being a bridleway its surface is pitted with small hollows having been trodden by horses.
Although named as a plantation the trees are well separated and give the impression of being natural woodland.
