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.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/3000451982/a2bdb01d-4e44-4b85-99f7-d287ae648bf2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) [Photo](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/3000451982/a2bdb01d-4e44-4b85-99f7-d287ae648bf2.jpg) by [Nigel Aspdin](https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/13751) ([Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)) ![General view of a square KM of pasture This whole square SK1939 is rolling traditional and improved pasture with a long established hedge pattern.
