St Mary's Church, Woburn Sands A Catholic church in Woburn Sands that seems to have been built within the last 50 years, as it doesn't show up on any '40s OS maps. To the right appears to be the father's house. In the grounds are also a meeting hall and cemetery.

Sandy Lane The view at the top of Aspley Heath looking down Sandy Lane. I believe you're allowed to drive your car down here if you're foolish enough, so it's mainly used as a public footpath and bridleway.

Path into Buttermilk Wood near Lowe's Wood This path leads into the woods in the heart of a quite large wood. Different parts of the wood have different names, and this path leads into what appears from the map to be called Buttermilk Wood, but is also close to Lowe's Wood.

Roadside pines A very neatly trimmed hedge separates these pines on the edge of Charle Wood from the lane from Little Brickhill to Woburn. The whole of this area probably once belonged to the Dukes of Bedford whose ancestral home of Woburn Abbey is nearby - they may well still own all the woodland.

Footpath into the woods near Shire Oak This sign points the way to <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/311246">SP9232 : Path into Buttermilk Wood near Lowe's Wood</a>. It forms part of the Milton Keynes Boundary Walk - which makes M.K. cover a pretty large area. As can be seen from the maps of the area this is in the midst of a wood near a place called Shire Oak.
