Field edge path The mapped public route is shown as cutting the corner of the field on the left, reaching this route a little way ahead, and then passing through the marshy, scrubby area on the right with a crossing of a stream somewhere in the middle. There was no sign of either of these, and the only practical route is to follow the cultivated field edges round the marshy area.
