Public right of way ...

Took a walk after work this afternoon, the intention being to photograph the cows, but they'd gone. As I climbed up the hill I questioned my brave decision to do the walk this way round - usually go the other way so's I get to go down the hill that this gateway is at the top of.

The style looks a bit unecessary next to such a large open gateway, but altho there's no gate there to speak of, there is a big mud bath out of shot. It's pretty boggy, especially after rain, so the style can be quite useful.
