Calvadnack and Farmland

Calvadnack is an area of open access heathland. There is a footpath marked on the OS map crossing it from north to south, however the footpath could not be found. The northern half of Calvadnack is used for rough cattle grazing and is passable but the vegetation makes the southern half impassable, even in the springtime before the bracken has regrown.

Gate and Fields

This double gate is the start of a bridlepath which leads from the road out over this patchwork of pasture fields. The gates allow horses to be taken on the bridlepath without letting out any stock which might be in the fields.
