A few years ago, both sides of the path were wooded (<a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1610925">NS3681 : Entering the woods</a>). Saplings are now springing up on the replanted right (north). Logging operations were in progress when the present picture was taken, and a cleared area to the south (left) had almost reached the path.

The trees to the north of the path were later cleared; see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1193388">NS3681 : Gate on the Stoneymollan Road footpath</a>, which shows the same gate as in the present picture. Those to the south were cleared in the second half of 2015.
