Forest ride off Fairoak Lane into Prince's Coverts. In the C19, this ride formed the western boundary of Brickyard Plantation, but the adjacent land on both sides (formerly Crown Estate land) has long since been developed into very upmarket housing, leaving just this finger of the forest reaching north to the road. Virtually the entire width of the ride is now overgrown, leaving just a narrow path down the right hand side in the photo: moreover, the gate is kept locked, and the path shows little signs of use. To the right of the ride is the drive to Meadow House.
