Post 10 is now painted on a young oak tree halfway along the Valley Woodland path.
If you take a few paces downhill from here you come to one of our rare native trees,
the Wild Service Tree.
It's recognisable by its five pointed leaves and, at this season, by its white panicles of flowers.
These are the forerunners of the brown berries that form in the autumn and used to be made into a drink called 'chequers'. This is probably why so many pubs are called The Chequers.
