Muddy path, Decoy Country Park

SX8670 : Red trail, Decoy Country Park was taken a few metres ahead less than a year ago, but we're not going to get there as our footwear reflects that there has been very little rain recently. A shame because this path is key to getting between Magazine Pond and Decoy Lake Lake.

Across this shallow valley, on the right of the photo, lies the new development of houses of East Ogwell. To the left and hidden in the trees in the distance lies the disused Conitor Limestone Quarry Today the lower section of the old quarry is used as an industrial estate, the rest of the old quarry is a little overgrown but the limestone rock faces are still visible.
