Field path on the edge of St Ives

From this point on the edge of the St Ives perimeter road, Marley Road, a public footpath leads to the ring village of Woodhurst a couple of miles away. The Via Beata walking route, leading to Woodhurst, passes through the autumnal-looking copse on the horizon in this photo.

Grassy area near to Burleigh Farm

The way ahead appears to lead invitingly on at this point but the Via Beata route, leading to the ring village of Woodhurst, takes a sharp left turn here through a copse.

Path through the copse south west of Burleigh Farm

At the copse, the Via Beata switches sharp left before turning right at the end of the woods, thus bypassing the farm. This copse is clearly seen atop a rise from the St Ives perimeter road. The change of direction is not immediately obvious when approaching from the south as the way ahead appears to lead invitingly on but to do so only means retracing your steps back to this point as it leads to the farm and is not a continuation route with public access.

This path between St Ives and Woodhurst borders a field edge before continuing ahead through deciduous woodland to the village of Woodhurst.

Woodhurst village

This appears to be the usual shot of the village with the pond in the foreground. As this is a ring village, there is no excuse for getting lost since, by following the road ahead, you arrive back at the point where you started ! Hurst, as part of a place name, means a grove or wooded hillock and this is an appropriate name for the village.
