When Westley airfield was created in the late 1930s this footpath had to be repositioned off the field. The path now seems to have split into two parallel versions, either side of this strip of planted trees. The airfield stretched over the first horizon down to the railway bridge visible to the left, where the Newmarket Road (formerly the A45) passes over the railway at a very acute angle. Most of the airfield is now built on, while other parts have reverted to agriculture.
