Coming into the top end of Blackthorn village you pass a pair of smart white gates. Image You go on past a handful of houses and after 100 metres or so you leave the village again via another set of white gates. Up to the end, right onto Station Road, along a bit and you come into the bottom end of Blackthorn through, guess what, some more white gates. Image Beautifully mown grass verges all the way. Somebody round here takes a lot of trouble. It looks very neat.
