Footpath up Broadway Hill The sign indicates the start of footpath WS 13/59 from The Hollow, but according to the maps it should leave the lane 100 metres further east. Two more footpaths cross the field.

On Broadway Hill The line of yellow hawkweed roughly shows the line of footpath WS 13/17 down to meet The Hollow at the gate near the farm buildings. This is taken from footpath WS 13/59; the two paths cross just to the right of the camera. The two trees on a more steeply sloping bank suggest the line of a vanished field boundary.
