Out-of-town housing
Three tiny bungalows have been in this field since the early 1900s. In recent years the middle one has been torn down and rebuilt slightly larger, then the nearer one was cleverly extended. The furthest one was demolished and a much larger two storey house is in the process of being built.

Pillbox
World war two gun emplacement overgrown by trees and moss.
Although originally in a corner of a field when built, the location is now fenced off from the field. The land on which the pillbox was built was not returned to the farmer after the war but retained, along with the adjacent track, by the Forestry Commission.

The path to the woods
Normally only a preserve of dog-walkers and very occasional birdwatchers, this is now busy with people who have become accustomed to taking exercise in Bourne Woods during the Covid-19 shutdown. Oh look, there is one now! Me too, I was walking back this way having walked down to the Elsea Park Co-op for emergency milk and much-needed bread.
The path is lined with all sorts of wild plants, the cow parsley is very heavy right now. On the left some late Hawthorn blossom. See Image and Image for closer views.
Bending down on the right to look under the hedge canopy I spotted some cattle lying down: Image

No more kissing
This is the entrance to a path that leads into Bourne Woods from West Road.
The small wooden gate replaces a former kissing gate that prevented cattle escaping onto the road when moved from fields on one side of the path to the other.
According to the sign at the other end (Image) this is a Restricted Byway, rather than a public footpath. There is no sign at this end.
Invisible in the hedgerow on the left is a World War 2 pillbox.
