Stretch of shady footpath - round Culverthorpe Lake

This footpath view is close to the Culverthorpe Hall public carpark and is part of a short circular route round the larger lake; a stretch of the route is, however, along the edge of a road.

New plantation to the rear of Heydour church

This is a new plantation of mixed young trees; with space being left on the right for the footpath wanderers of the future - when the trees have grown and changed the view.
