This is part of Filnore Woods called the Paddock. Many years ago it was a grassy paddock and Fred Day, who was Mrs Violet Mundy's groom, used to give children riding lessons here.
Nowadays it is full of hazel and blackthorn, but students and staff from the Sheiling School have been working on it for a year or so, coppicing the hazel, building fences along the top of the hedgebank and creating a very robust set of steps.
The woven hazel fencing is not to keep people out but to stop them eroding the historic hedgebank by climbing over it.
The Sheiling School team have now started reinforcing the muddy path from post 13 near the Paddock to the row of beeches at post 14.
Many thanks to all students and staff.
