HS2..a picture is worth a 1000 words, a now and then shots:-
The footpath is now closed
The footpath was where the rough ground is and went towards the house which leads to the start of the first shot
Looking to the left ( maybe a different time of the year) looked like this:-
And looking to the right looked like this, and at the top of the hill is a road, which leads back to near the start in the first pic:-
AND this is what the area looks like now.... the horizontal rough bit is roughly where the footpath was when I took the shots in the past.
