The drive carries the footpath from Wannock to Folkington whilst another follows the nearside of the fence from here to Filching along the northern bank of Wannock Glen. Had to cross the stream by balancing on an old fallen tree as it was the only way across, the owner of the paddocks beyond had allowed me to climb over the fence to use her fields but warned me that this bit of water was knee deep across the bridge. The stream once powered a watermill that operated from the late 16th century to 1918, the buildings being demolished in 1956 and the millpond filled to make way for a housing estate.
