Path at Boothroyd, Rastrick, Yorkshire
This is an old path, formerly enclosed that runs from Boothroyd Lane down to Longroyde, heading for Rastrick Bridge. It is paved with stone flags, and the path that crosses in the foreground is also paved. The grass is gradually growing over the flags, giving an irregular zigzag effect. The path to the left goes to Boothroyd, now a private school, and the one to the right to a housing estate, although it was originally a field path to Field Lane.
