Unexplained landforms in the field are perhaps shelter for livestock. On the right, traffic on the M40; junction 13 is left of centre. The B4087 Tachbrook Road-Oakley Wood Road comes south from Leamington: a common sight is a funeral cortège heading for the Mid-Warwickshire Crematorium in Oakley Wood SP3059 : Mid Warwickshire Crematorium, South Chapel.

Calpurnia Avenue

All the streets on this large modern housing estate have been given names that come from Shakespeares plays. Calpurnia appears in Julius Caesar. There is also a character of this name in the film "To Kill A Mockingbird"

Track to the Old Sewage Works

This tarmac road was originally built to give access to the sewage works but as demand increased the sewage works were replaced and both it and the road became redundant. A new housing estate is just over the hedge on the left.
