quarry

grey arrowTurn right up the gravel drive of the furthest right house and walk back to the wood edge, taking a straight course from the bend in the drive

grey arrowStay right on the path so the wood is immediately on your right.

Note the evidence of the quarry and landfill on your left. You will be able to see warning signs, hear lorries and see metal and concrete structures.

Look out for birds at this point. Kestrels, sparrow hawks and buzzards hunt here as the open grasslands allow them to more clearly see mice and other prey. Even rarer birds such as red kites and goshawks have been seen over these fields.
