This farm track turns right off River Lane, itself a similar track which turns south to Little Oak Wood. Aubry's Screed, on the left, is a narrow belt of mixed woodland which climbs Hambleton Hill. The grid square boundary goes across the picture just where the track disappears from view.

Lineside Clearance

In an attempt to off-set the dreaded leaf-fall problems on gradients, Network Rail have embarked on a clearance project. Overgrown cuttings are being stripped back almost to the fence boundary of any substantial wooded growth. One of the benefits is that viewpoints are being restored to a point that had disappeared since the Second World War. This cutting lies to the west of Gonerby Grange on the rail line from Allington to Ancaster.
