The former site of the Swanpool Landfill, now a rather healthy-looking but coarse area of scrubland. Seemingly an "unofficial" area of common land, with many openings in the perimeter fence and well-defined footpaths. Many photographers were present, most probably bird photographers. The woodland area on the left is also part of this land, featuring a mysterious metal structure resembling a miniature-sized bottle kiln. It is not marked on maps, but is clearly visible on aerial imagery of the east edge of the woodland.
