Viewed from Streat Lane. The wide verge and hedgerow set back from the lane is evidence of a former droving route where all the land in between was part of the King's highway. Over the centuries parts were thinned due to squatting and illegal reclamation and quickened once the need of the motor car was less than the herd.
