Higham Ferrers Footpath Group

	Leaving Cranford
	Crossing a new bridge at the bottom of the pasture
	Enjoying more pasture
	A good headland path beside the ploughed field
	Memory of a dog
	Teabreak in Grafton Underwood
	Duck walking on water
	Leaving Grafton Underwood
	A restored path through rape. The spire of Grafton Underwood Church is seen above the hedge
	Headland bridleway heading southwards
	A restored footpath through winter wheat
	A picturesque ruin - the building, not the walkers!

	Setting out from Hargrave
	Footpath from Covington to the Bythorn bridleway
	Bridleway leading to Mickle Hill, Clack Barn and Bythorn
	The bridleway has been diverted around the new Big House at Mickle Hill. The original building is on the extreme right; all the rest is new. The bridleway used to pass the left hand side of the old house.
	Descending from Clack Barn
	Outside the White Hart, Bythorn
	Footpath south of Keyston
	A damp bridleway below Crow's Nest Hill
	Climbing Crow's Nest Hill, with Keyston Church prominent in the valley. The flowers are Charlock, a weed growing in the rape.
	Back in civilization: Crosssing the county boundary into Northamptonshire from Cambridgeshire. The low sun reveals the photographer's shadow
	Passing the time of day with the farmer of Bottom Farm, Hargrave

	Setting out past Little Harrowden Church
	The path to Orlingbury
	The notice seeks to prevent villagers walking a traditional way along the stream. Our lowland 'freedom to roam' was taken away at the enclosures as John Clare tells us in 'The Mores': Each little tyrant with his little sign Shows where man claims earth glows no more divine; On paths to freedom and to childhood dear A board sticks up to notice 'no road here'.
	Leaving Orlingbury
	Muddy gateway. Some seek a way around the edge; others just stride across.
	An un-restored path
	The way is clearly marked nearer Little Harrowden
	Confined between fences approaching the village
	The sheep still cannot quite believe that we are fenced in!
