It looks like a scene of pastoral serenity, but the noise alerts walkers to the fact that just beyond the end of this field are the M6 and M61 motorways. Prior to them being built it was possible to walk from here to Brown Lane, Bamber Bridge. A public footpath still technically extends along the other side of the field boundary on the right of this picture, but it leads only to the end of the field.
