The Lymes Road According to the 1940s map, this was originally a B-road, leading down to The Lymes, also in this square. Now it is only a loose-cobbled track running between Keele village and The Lymes. It also serves as a bridleway. Here is it seen just before it passes underneath the M6, which it now runs next to.

Green Fields near The Lymes Looking down over some very "English" green fields over the A53 towards The Lymes farm from the road up to Shutlanehead. For anyone wishing to travel along the track from Shutlanehead to The Pleck, be warned that there's not really a track and it's pretty inaccessible at the best of times.
