Deerfold View across stubble to hills above Lingen. Often ground as steep as the background remains wooded. That combined with the placename suggests that this may have been a hunting forest, like Bringewood the other side of Wigmore.

Sheep Pasture This large field is hemmed in between Wigmore Wood and the byway up from Letton.  The byway is overgrown and blocked with dumped grass and other detritus where it leaves the public road (as at June 2008), but a farm track parallels it on the other side of the fence. Access is straightforward, provided you have long enough legs to negotiate a couple of electric fences!
