Disused windmill at Threapwood
The large metal cog at the top looks as if it's going to fall at any moment...

Lower Threapwood - footpath Threapwood 19
View on bearing of 70 deg. Threapwood is the 'last village in Cheshire' - in the SW of the county, just on the Welsh border. A traditional farming community, tucked away from all major roads. A deep wooded clough, whose rim is seen in the background of the image, divides the village into 'Lower' and 'Higher' Threapwood. Footpath 19 leads from the bus depot at the end of Greaves Lane East to the parish boundary with Oldcastle at the stile and signpost in the distance. Great crop of elderberries in 2004!

Footbridge below Threapwood windmill
A slightly odd and little-used footpath, which crosses a private garden (and compost heap!), gives access from the north to this pretty spot, where a footbridge crosses a stream. The leaves carpeting the ground are Ramsons or Wild Garlic.
