Stile, Colston Bassett Whoever designed this stile obviously didn't bother to try and use it. The worst feature is the single crosspiece which is too low; this problem is exacerbated by the extraordinary decision to have the top rung v-shaped and sloping upwards. Getting your trailing leg over the top is extremely awkward. This looks a fairly recent stile; ironically, the 2009 Conservation Area Apprailsal and management Plan acknowledged that "public footpaths and other rights of way within and adjacent to the Conservation Area play a vital role in allowing people to enjoy and experience the area. It is important that these paths are well maintained, clearly marked and made accessible ...  Footpaths and pavements are in poor condition in places" <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://www.rushcliffe.gov.uk/media/rushcliffe/media/documents/pdf/planningandbuilding/conservationareas/Colston_Bassett_Conservation_Area_Appraisal_and_Management_Plan.pdf" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.rushcliffe.gov.uk/media/rushcliffe/media/documents/pdf/planningandbuilding/conservationareas/Colston_Bassett_Conservation_Area_Appraisal_and_Management_Plan.pdf">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> .
