Castleland Copse

Oakford: near Ford Farm On a public footpath towards East Mildon. Looking west-north-west. It should be noted, perhaps, that the present day Ford Farm has been built near High Bolham and is not at the place shown on the 1940s Ordnance Survey map. The old building was being converted to a private house recently. The old farm had a remote barn which contained a water-powered threshing machine. By 2003 the waterwheel had gone but the course of the leat was still apparent
