Handley Wood The footpath from Plains Lane leads down over Black Brook, shown by the first line of trees, up to Handley Woods. Further north, Plains Lane appears to end in a farmyard. Had I been brave enough to open the gate, maybe I would have found my way to Lambhouse Lane!

Footpath between Lambhouse Lane and Callandine Lane The footpath leads down past the cow over Franker Brook (hidden by trees), then up past Hole Cottage to Newbuildings Farm. The field between Hole cottage an Newbuildings Farm has a rather curiously mown strip of grass. Has someone got their own driving range?
