It looks as if there is a spring here, and the water is not getting away. I had walked slowly round on the dead plants on the left, trying unsuccessfully to avoid the many creeping bramble stems - I had forgotten to bring my pocket secateurs. Incidentally the line of the path shown on the on-line rights-of-way map and the Explorer map is incorrect. It should obviously go via the footbridge, as shown on the 1893 1:2500 map and as exists on the ground.
