Confluence of the Dover Beck and the beck from Oxton

The Dover Beck flows out through the large pipe which takes it under the footpath. Mapping indicates it as a footbridge, which it may well have been in days gone by..

Footpath across the field leaving Thorndale Plantation

Older maps show the path running to the right, right through the field to its far corner, rather than crossing the field to run along the headland by the hedge, as it does now, in accordance with the current definitive route.

Footpath long the hedgerow

Older maps show it running diagonally across the field to close to the dead tree.

Footpath to Oxton

Taken at the point where it leaves the narrow lane for the first few 10s of metres of Carrington Lane. It recreates this picture Link which was previously the 'First' for the adjacent square, but proved to have been incorrectly located.

Thorndale Plantation, Calverton (3)

This path turns left just beyond the clump of ferns and follows the southern edge of the plantation, before swinging south to meet Mansfield Lane on the northern fringe of Calverton.
