Gated footpath, Thorpe Acre
Not marked as a public right of way on the OS maps, this shot was taken from the public footpath heading towards Garendon Park from the end of Coe Avenue.

Gateway into Garendon Park
At the end of Coe Avenue. The signed footpath is the other side of a fence at this point, but about 20 metres to the left joins the track through the gate without any sort of barrier or sign.

Public footpath towards Garendon Park, Thorpe Acre
So well used for family recreation that I was unable to get a shot that didn't contain humans. The houses on the right are on Lilleshall Way and St Olaves Close.

Back Lane, Garendon Park
Even looking at old maps it is not clear whether this was a public lane or an estate track. Today it is a public footpath and cycleway, forming part of Sustrans route 6.

Garendon Obelisk
Placed where it would have been conspicuous from Garendon Hall, it is now closely beset by woodland, and in a relatively poor state. Built around 1730 and originally covered with stucco, most of this has flaked away leaving the original brickwork exposed. The main pedestal below the balls supporting the main needle has been completely rebuilt using modern breeze block. Listed Grade II, the listing refers to a stone pedestal.

Garendon Obelisk
Looking up at the needle showing bits of the decayed stucco. The Obelisk is so hemmed in with trees that a complete view of it is impossible. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2364470 for more details.
