A load of bullocks on Chalcroft Farm The sign says "Construction site keep out" but I think this is left over from the year 2012 when Chalcroft Solar Park (seen in distance) was built.

There are bullocks everywhere on this farm, understandably, but I gave up walking the footpaths here and decided to keep to the road. I would not advise walking the paths hereabouts with a dog.

Chalcroft Distribution Park This well secluded business park runs beside the railway line and is almost surrounded by trees. I presume the land was originally part of Chalcroft Farm, but an Eastleigh Borough Council planning document states "Chalcroft Distribution Park is an industrial site established sometime in the first half of the 20th century as a rail distribution park. It now serves as a road haulage distribution centre". This is all I can see of it from Burnetts Lane. The older house whose chimneys are glimpsed in the trees front left is intriguingly marked on the OS map as "married quarters". <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://www.chalcroft.com/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.chalcroft.com/">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>
