You're passing the Birkdale Farm Fishing Ponds here, visible only from certain spots, though, as a lot of the time trees block the view. It's a lovely part of the world: it feels very much away from everything else in the world, and is very impressively green. Suddenly, the world seems to just come to a standstill, and it's just you and the natural world. I absolutely loved walking through here.
