The Wansdyke near St Gregory's Catholic College
Now no more than a simple footpath along hedges, the old Wansdyke maintains a straight path. The college was previously known as Cardinal Newman school (secondary modern).

A broad green strip
Although the modern housing has encroached on the open spaces, this linear bit of green land retains the route of the old Wansdyke. The ancient ditch has become indistinguishable from the rest of the countryside. This area was once a Fuller's Earth works, and later quarrying became a feature.

The end of Oolite Grove
This unexceptional suburban cul-de-sac bears what is surely Bath's best street name. Oolite Grove has supplied the title of a track by Ozric Tentacles. Dictionaries say that the first word should be pronounced as three syllables, but in practice it is always 'oooh-light'. Bath is built on and of it.

Burnt House Road play area
A little play area on the edge of the new housing estate. The Burnt House refers to an old eighteenth century farm house that used to exist a short distance away on the Wellsway. It served as a brewhouse and inn from about 1870 up until its closure in 2006. The inn was demolished and flats now stand on the site.

Plenty of trees to play around
The Manor Farm estate comprises many acres of land, some of which were devoted to farming crops but have now been turned over to trees. Several permissive paths now cross the plantations. Otherwise, the footpath carries on down to South Stoke.

The track near Sulis Manor
The area to the west of South Stoke was largely part of the estate. This track remains part of the access to what is now a fairly open area for all to enjoy, along with a lot of tree planting.
