Stoke Grange SP6700 is quite a secretive square with only a short bit of rather neglected public footpath in one corner. Photographically it's fields and woods and a limited view of Stoke Grange from around 500m away.

End of Bridleway This is a bit curious. Exactly as shown on the map, there is a bridleway out to here in the middle of nowhere much where it just stops. There is a building shown in the middle of this bit of woodland. An old barn that needed horse access at one time maybe? Anyway, there's no sign of any horses being here recently, and to be fair, why would you?

Bridleway near Peggs Farm This is officially a bridleway but as it comes to a sudden stop in the field beyond the trees it doesn't look very much used by horses.
