Whipsnade golf course The Icknield way runs directly across this golf course. Whilst crossing it we were told that jeans are not permitted on the course! Must remember to bring a change of clothes next time we're out walking this way. (As a golfer myself, I wish we could shake off this image - Robin)

Mason's Plantation. This plantation does not appear on the 1940's OS maps so is a reasonably young wood. It seems to have been planted primarily to give cover to pheasants.
