Jacob's ladder
Image: © Hugh Craddock Taken: 4 Aug 2013
A steep and unexpectedly encountered flight of steps between Sandpitts Cottages and 4 Old Road, on public footpath Buckland 466, which runs between Old Road and bridleway 464 connecting with Wonham Lane. There has long been a footpath along this alignment, but (as the name of the neighbouring cottages suggest) a sandpit dug next to the former main road caused the footpath to be continued down the face of the sandpit by a stairway. The path endures today, although the sandpit has long since been parcelled up into residential plots.
