Footpath by the field boundary To the right of this fence is pasture in which, at the time of taking the image, cows were grazing.

On this side of the fence a footpath runs parallel to the fence.  The field on this side appears to be planted with oil seed rape but in reality it seems to be primarily be growing thistles.
