Bentley Park Wood and a pumpkin

The pumpkin is no doubt a leftover from Halloween two days earlier. Beyond the gate the track heads through Bentley Park Wood to emerge by the Horse and Jockey pub about a mile away.

Bridleway through Bentley Park Wood

This bridleway starts at a pub, the White Hart at Ridge Lane and ends at a pub, the Horse and Jockey at Bentley; they are about a mile apart. Excellent walking country!
