General view of a square KM of pasture This whole square SK1939 is rolling traditional and improved pasture with a long established hedge pattern. There are no roads, tracks or buildings of any nature. There are a number of small brooks and neglected cattle drinking ponds. There were a few beef cattle or young dairy cattle grazing in one field (warm day late April 2007), and a white horse in another. Other than that the area is strangely lifeless and not as inviting as it seems at first instance. The whole square is well criss-crossed with public footpaths, but these are poorly marked and obstructed in places. Many of the fields are used, or have been used, by horse cross-country events. The jumps in the hedging appear to be recently maintained. The central feature, Bog Plantation, mixed woodland, is not crossed by a public right of way. This is not the easiest square to photograph, but it was the nearest un-photographed one to my home for my first submission.

Staff were very pleasant and answered any queries we had. Pool area was lovely, the only downside was not enough beds at busy times. Food was good but it was disappointing to find they only served pepsi max or diet pepsi 'a full fat' option wouldve be nice.

Room was ok, location close to the railway station. The door lock for the room was rather annoying and hard to use, what was wrong with simple swipe cards! Temperature of the room was rather stuffy, and the temperature control did not change that.
