Track through Longnor Park towards Park Farm

An unsurfaced farm track and footpath, leading to the small settlement at park Farm, from where several paths spread out into the surrounding farmland.

A little-used footpath

The path is reasonably signed, to be fair, but little walked. There's no obvious track through this field, and it's quite overgrown in the far corner by the mid-distance trees, from where it heads to a bridged crossing of the railway line.

Buildings at Park Farm

The place has several very noisy dogs, although they backed off when approached. This is, after all, a right of way.
