Track leading to Summerhouse Farm, Goffer's Knoll tumulus on the horizon.

This track out of Melbourn was replaced by New Road at enclosure and led to the important Icknield Way. This is the point where the public right-of-way is truncated and all of the view is now private property.

Glittering byway to nowhere

The point where the 450m long, very broad, mown, Public Byway - just stops. Well, there are narrow fieldside tracks leading right and left but nothing like the same standard.
