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>.

Moat near Cudworth This moat just to the south of the church at Cudworth  is probably the remains of a fortified manor house although there is very little in the way of remains inside the moat. The moat is approximately circular and is approximately 75m to 80m in diameter. The interior is slightly higher than the surrounding field. This is the west side of the moat looking north west from just outside the moat on the southern side. There are the remains of fishponds in the adjacent field.
