Now, and for some considerable time, a field boundary, but originally an ancient path or droveway, linking two settlements, or part of a longer route, or just a local drove way onto the local high ground. I am always interested to spot and explore these. Some are quite probably prehistoric, being established literally millennia ago by local herdsmen, shepherds, farmers, drovers, hunters and travellers. Worn down by hard little hooves, water, constant use and remaining as a very vocal message from our past, overlooked, underexplored and little appreciated. But they have outlasted nearly everything else.
