The line of trees on the horizon follow Chapel Lane, about a kilometre away. You really can see for miles across this landscape! The drain at the side of the road is Clay Dike. Note: On the OS maps this road is called Claydike Bank but on the street sign and some road maps it's as in the photograph.
