Footpath from Lolworth to Boxworth

The footpath is wide and pleasant although there is an audible reminder of the presence of A14 road less than a mile away.

Footpath to nowhere

Stubble field with hazy tree

I carefully paced out the right point on the footpath, only to discover that due to the ridge in the landscape there is very little to see. So here it is.

Note: for 3 years TL3363 : Rolling wheat fields was the first and only geograph in this square. This photo was submitted after the old one was reclassified as supplemental.
