Footpath at Long Clawson Successive diversions of this path around the site of Long Clawson Dairies has made it far from the short cut from the Nether Broughton road into the village that it once was. Nonetheless it probably makes a convenient route for dog-walkers.

Abandoned field The location of this field close to the village suggests that it is planned (at least in someone's mind) that it should be developed.
