Access road for Hilltop House Hilltop House is at the top of the drive, partly concealed by trees; it's not quite at the top of the hill - there's higher ground just beyond at the summit which has a trig point.
The road is also the route of a public footpath which bypasses the house on its left side.

Farm track across Guy's Bank The public right of way (a bridleway) runs through a narrow strip of fenced land just over the hedge on the right, but you're hard pushed to see it, let alone follow it, in the summer, for undergrowth.

The Orslow Brook at Coneygreaves Little more than a boggy ditch at this point, especially in near-drought conditions, it eventually runs into the Back Brook.

A good attempt to block the bridleway A raingun was watering the potatoes just off shot to the left here; its hose reel had been left right across the bridleway, although a bike (or horse) could just about squeeze through against the hedge.
