Field near Lower Hole. The view over the gate to the left referred to in 580852. Woodland seems to have encroached considerably into this field, which slopes to the small stream that runs between the three farms at Hole. The woodland beyond is around Little Tor.
Field boundary near Blackingstone. A gentle low bank suffices as a field boundary between these fields by the lane shown in 1291130.
Meadow in the Teign valley In its deeply incised meandering course, the valley contains level areas of flood plain, and this tempting meadow has obviously been used for outdoor activities. To the left rises St Thomas Cleave Wood.
