Stile, California Lane
A public footpath goes across the corner of this field, to another stile seen in the hedge. It then runs through the field on the left, parallel to the public footpath off California Lane, before continuing on to Greymoorhill. It is probably not used very much today, because you can walk down the access track to the golf driving range - but looking at old maps https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/339890/559188/10/101325 that track is a fairly recent development.
