'The Drift', east of Swayfield &#039;Drift&#039; is not an uncommon name for lanes in this area, and presumably refers to their use for driving cattle. This attractive lane runs for about 2 miles, from the road junction on the east side of Swayfield (distance), south to Creeton. Marred only by the sound of trains on the nearby East Coast main line.

Mistletoe in lime trees; Steel's Riding, Grimsthorpe Park The track running west-east through the southern part of Grimsthorpe Park is lined with lime trees, heavily infested with mistletoe. The trees look rather sick - but I&#039;ve only seen them in their leaf-free, winter months.
