This featureless, grassy area might not strike you like a good idea for a highlight, but paths (rather than roads, really) cross here, so it's a place full of choices.

Go east and you will shortly reach Linglow Hill. Go north to get to Coalpit Hill. South - to reach Great Asby Scar and its natural reserve and/or Beacon Hill. And, finally, it is west to the B6260 and the car park there.

It sure is quiet here. I bet nothing has really changed here for decades.
