Dead tree at Raywell The remains of a tree at the side of Westfield Road. I briefly thought that it might have been a victim of the consistent strong winds during February 2022, but nearby pieces of the stump looked to have been there for some time.

Snowdrops at Raywell On the verge on the southern side of Westfield Road, part of a large drift, which were probably, in early March, a bit past their prime.

Field between Swanland and Swanland Dale Until quite recently this had been one massive field running from Dale Road to Occupation Lane, and from the crest of the hill at Swanland, where the Northfield housing development now stands, down to Swanland Lane. In more recent times this belt of trees has been planted and will provide a wind break in years to come. It also provides a path from Dale Road to Occupation Lane that doesn't, as yet, appear on the map.
