Woods near Keele University An early autumn day in the woods near Keele University. A lot of this square is open woodland that used to form the grounds of Keele Hall. Since the University took over the Hall and its 617 acre grounds, this area is now public access, with many footpaths among the trees and ponds.

The Lymes Road According to the 1940s map, this was originally a B-road, leading down to The Lymes, also in this square. Now it is only a loose-cobbled track running between Keele village and The Lymes. It also serves as a bridleway. Here is it seen just before it passes underneath the M6, which it now runs next to.

Green Fields near The Lymes Looking down over some very "English" green fields over the A53 towards The Lymes farm from the road up to Shutlanehead. For anyone wishing to travel along the track from Shutlanehead to The Pleck, be warned that there's not really a track and it's pretty inaccessible at the best of times.
