Rolling wheat fields

An overview of the arable fields that cover much of this grid square (taken from just outside the square looking in).

Power line north of Childerley Hall

Probably the most interesting feature of this square! Cambridgeshire certainly has its fair share of flat cornfields.

Field scale lysimeters

A lysimeter measures water penetration in the soil, apparently. The things you learn through Geograph.

Field bean cultivation, Boxworth

A bit of relief from the wheat that currently covers most of the land round here.

Derelict building at Battle Gate

This is at the end of the southern road out of Boxworth which can be driven down, but not beyond this point. The surrounding fields are on one of the highest parts of the clay 'uplands' (nearby spot height is 67m) which form the southern border of the Fens.

Road from Boxworth to Elsworth

Taken from the layby, this shows the Boxworth-Elsworth road on the top of a fenland "hill" dropping 10m in 500m distance is the dip. Beyond are further fields and gentle hills typical of the area.

Converted house

One of the many converted dwellings in the village, giving the area its own unique character.

Terrace houses

A view along the main road through Knapwell, showing terrace houses backing onto the street. The road tarmac is coloured red to help drivers remember that the village is a 30mph zone - a technique used often in local rural villages.

Footpath and field boundary

Quiet and unremarkable Cambridgeshire agricultural land.

There is little to distinguish one field from another!

Elsworth Mill, Elsworth, Cambs

A capless tower mill (also known East Mill, Papworth's Mill or the Black Mill) nestling amongst trees along Boxworth Road east of the village. It replaced an earlier wooden smock mill, probably dating from around 1800 and destroyed by fire in 1854. It was converted into a house around 1935.

Footpath to nowhere

The 1:25,000 OS map shows this footpath petering out as it approaches Boxworth. It is the only right of way in TL3563 and apparently come to a dead end.
