Footpath into the woods, Halton
Image: © Rob Farrow Taken: 14 May 2006
This is an unmarked path into the woods to the East of the footpath marked on the map at this point (which is just off to the left of this photograph). This little wood does not appear on the 1940s map suggesting that it is comparatively recent. The land to West of this point is taken up by RAF Halton and associated accommodation (both accommodation blocks and houses), however before its military use the land was probably owned by the Rothschilds as the Officers' Mess for example is an old Rothschild Mansion. There is quite a substantial amount of development going on around here, and some of the former military-owned houses are up for sale to the general public.
