The soundscape: birdsong. Dense pine and Norway Spruce forest to the right blocks traffic noise from the fast A380 about 800 metres away. Just here there is a stand of larch. To the left, oak, pine and birch and a short ride down to a track for forestry operations. The ride pictured seems to have been laid out for public access. It reaches a hairpin downslope then leads back to the unsigned car park Image No map seems to show exactly the paths and rides as they exist on the ground. The surface shows much broken flint: see Image
