Footpath 387 towards Dencher Wood The farm buildings still shown on the 1:50000 map here have been gone for some years. There is only some hard standing - presumably former floors, this derelict feeder, and not much else. The footpath crosses a ditch by a bridge ahead and then turns right along the field parallel with the wood edge.

Having a swing, St Piers NCYPE At the National Centre for Young People with Epilepsy, one of the young people has a swing, superintended by two carers and wearing a crash helmet. Footpath 381 runs along the edge of the grounds, and some of the buildings to be seen from it are rather severe, rather like military barracks. Those seen here are better examples.

Oak and bluebells near Hoopers Farm It is unusual in these parts for bluebells to grow thickly in an open field. Perhaps it was once a wood? Indeed it was. Kiln Wood is roughly square in late Victorian maps, extending over this area. Now it is a much smaller triangle behind and right of the viewpoint.
