Across Stretford Water Footpath CH6/16 crosses a field of oats and descends, dividing as it does so, to cross the stream. Both branches lead to Cudworth; the nearer buildings in the photo are part of the hamlet at the east end of the village centred around Ware Farm and the former school. The two pairs of trees in the middle of the green field on the far hillside to the left are the field boundary remnants mentioned in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/507996">ST3610 : View above Cudworth</a>.
