Parking near road-track junction (NT593425). 100m W, a wide track at a metal barrier winds up through the thin corridor of trees. At the pheasantry’s blue barrel, follow the chicken wire fence around to the R and over brashings. Top has been closely planted with new saplings – get this one done soon before they grow too big | Isbjorn | 03/05/2023 |
