Elder trees, stubble cultivator and Dutch barn

The elder trees in the hedge have their bunches of white flowers. The Dutch barn is on White Pond Farm. The bridleway down to the farmhouse is beyond the hedge.

Jubilee Lime Walk of White Pond Farm

The tree on the right and smaller trees beyond were planted in 2012 to celebrate the golden jubilee of the Stacey family at White Pond Farm; the plaque giving these details is on a post between the first two trees. The trees are beside a public footpath.
