Stump Cross A crossroads of byways at the top of Pitcombe Hill looking pretty much as it would have 200 years ago. The fields would have had different crops, the hedgerows perhaps better kept and the road has probably made up a few times since then. These old tracks are good for walking with excellent views from here. A tough mountain bike with low gears and GOOD BRAKES would be useful. Also OS Explorer Map 142 as a guide.
