Holtspur: Heath Road
The town of Beaconsfield expanded greatly after the Second World War, and, to the west, swallowed up the hamlet of Holtspur. Heath Road is one of the western extremities of that expansion. The tops of the trees in Cut-throat Wood can be glimpsed over the roofs of the houses in the distance.

House with floral front garden in Heath Road, Beaconsfield
As I cycled round these roads I particularly noticed the flowers in the front garden with tall hollyhocks, climbers on frames, and plants in pots.

Holtspur: Glory Hill Lane
This lane used to connect Holtspur and Glory Mill until it was cut in two by the building of the M40 Motorway. No doubt confusingly to some visitors the remnant part on the other side of the motorway is called Glory Mill Lane, while this part is so-called because it is close to Glory Hill Farm. For a view of the lane in the adjacent grid square to the west please see
