Car Park on Swan's Way, Salcey Forest A popular car park for walkers, riders and cyclists. The track leads deep into the forest on the less-busy southern side. The forest warden told me that in the evenings (at the right time of year) nightingales can be heard calling.

Rape, footpath, hedge It would be nice if all footpaths along field edges were as clean and neat as this! (Or maybe not?) A little further down the path is the site of the mediaeval village of Hartwell, now buried under a yellow sea.
