Junction of Kyrebatch Farm entrance road Where the road meets the Thornbury-Kyre lane there is a finger post. The large sign under the finger post 'Thornbury' was the only place in the area where I saw a Thornbury village sign, yet here we are over a mile north of the village and with no houses nearby. I assumed that Thornbury was well spread out.

Salling's Common One of the long thin commons found around the Bromyard area. Grazing probably ceased a long time ago as the common is turning into woodland.
I did not recognise the place, but I used to be a regular visitor here, but only during the night - this was the route I used to get to the dances at Kyre. Cycling had a stigma then, so I was careful to hide the bike.

Winter crops A deep green, testament to the nutritious powers of artificial fertilisers. A flat field on the plateau north of Bromyard with a sharp drop into Kyre Batch beyond.
