I like this old footpath, although it's muddy (slottery). It's quiet. It's not at all busy. I can walk slowly and the dogs can sniff everything. The footpath is in a steep-sided valley, on the hillside. Towards the south, uphill, I see a small quarry. It's overgrown now with ivy and ferns. Towards the north, downhill, I see a stream and a big old viaduct - the new footpath. The viaduct is not built with stone from the quarry. It's not the same stone, and the quarry is too small. Once upon a time the stream powered a mill.
