Observation:
On the same bit of wall by the same gate as 1971. The point is not visitable but the farm track and view of the farm from the gate is unchanged. One can see that Hazel bushes have been planted along the verge between track and wall. Plantations of conifers, small then have now reached maturity. The grazing in the fields still supports a dairy herd, as it did then, although the farm has diversified their business to react to contemporary economics.
