Field north of Affeton Looking WSW from East Worlington Bridleway 10 as it runs up a broad ridge north of the Little Dart valley. The field slopes away towards a tributary valley running through the Affeton estate, and, in this view, in SS7414. The overhanging tree marks the beginning (to the right) of a stretch of the bridleway bordered by an old row of beeches.

Orchids on verge, Round Ash Moor A notice asks that the verge is not cut as it is protected, and these magnificent orchids (Heath Spotted and Southern Marsh, I think) illustrate why.
