Carriage drive to Dunsland Climbing towards the site of Dunsland House along the carriage drive from the Cookbury turning off the Brandis Corner to Holemoor road. The carriage drive has seen little vehicular use and no maintenance in the 50 years since the house was destroyed, and is a good illustration of how tarred roads eventually revert to nature without continual repair.
