Entrance to Kyrebatch Farm

The kids were having great fun with the tent. One oast house at the end of the line of farm buildings.

Junction of Kyrebatch Farm entrance road

Where the road meets the Thornbury-Kyre lane there is a finger post. The large sign under the finger post 'Thornbury' was the only place in the area where I saw a Thornbury village sign, yet here we are over a mile north of the village and with no houses nearby. I assumed that Thornbury was well spread out.

Hay Field near Manor Farm

Viewed from the Thornbury lane. The bridleway meets the lane at this point and there was no sign of it being used. Would have been hard going on foot.
