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.
