Pheasant-rearing pens in The Coppice at Acton Round There were plenty of young birds in the pens, and no shortage of older pheasants in the rest of the wood. Daft Dog, being a Cocker Spaniel, thought this was a great place to explore.

Footpath near Lower Spoonhill Woods Easy walking once the wheat has been harvested, but this might have felt less 'open' when the crop was still in the field.

Footpath along a hedgeline near Little Spoonhill The paths hereabouts are not particularly well signed, nor well used for that matter. Which is a shame, as it's a lovely area.

A bridleway, in theory No sign of a usable path across this field, but the headland/margin has been left unplanted and riders are presumably expected to use that instead. To be fair, it works just as well.

Another piece of unmarked bridleway The right of way crossing this field has been planted over, leaving no trace of a path, but with an alternative route around the field edge it's not the end of the world. The same applies in the next field north, nearer to the road.

Marshy bridleway in Woodhousefield Plantation Large-scale maps show the western side of this wood as Woodhousefield Plantation, and the eastern part as Woodhousefield Gorse. Whatever the names, the pathway is pretty damp in places, and Daft Dog emerged with a very wet belly from paddling in the puddles.
