Route of public footpath heading towards B6274 The path route reaches the B6274 at the low point of the fence which acts as a stile and where there's a finger post indicating the way. OS maps in the possession of the photographer do not show that route; it has obviously been recognised as such more recently.

Low bridges over stream The minor stream is a feeder of Langley Beck and is about to pass beneath the B6274; it's also crossed twice in the field. The nearer crossing is by a pipe which is supported by a concrete channel; the farther one must be a crossing point for farm vehicles.
