Hamstead Marshall Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Through the crop The footpath was clearly marked through this crop of corn, at the start. As we progressed it got taller and thicker although the route was just about visible and we cam out at the right place on the far side. I am holding my camera above my head. My walking companion, who is just under six feet tall, gives a more clear indication of the crop height.

Corn crop near Waterman's Farm Leaving the woodland north of Waterman's Farm we find this large field with a corn crop and a very wide headland for the public footpath. At the corner though the footpath goes straight on, straight through the crop.

Pasture near Benham Marsh. This square is mostly pasture/farmland. This section is west of the minor road in the eastern half of the square. The picture was taken from the roadside, looking west towards Mayhouse Gullies and the nearest edge of Briffs Copse.
