Footpath across a field near Manor Farm
The formal path a few yards south seems to have fallen into disuse, but this works just as well, and overlooks the SJ9403 : Flooded gravel workings at Manor Farm just off shot to the right.
The road was closed c. 2001 after the pit stopped producing. Before this the road was often effectively closed because the local scumbags used it as a tip - it was not uncommon to find a mound of rubble on the road itself.
