Oak tree, in field north of Burrington - in winter. The same scene as previously photographed in October 2007 (see 590302). Note one difference is that the fallen branch at the foot of the tree has now been largely removed!

Old Downton Lodge Situated on the bend in the lane. The Old Downton Lodge restaurant and hotel now appears to be closed - perhaps part of the decline in the Ludlow area as an 'in' gourmet location.
