The quiet village of Sibford Gower on the Oxfordshire/Warwickshire border.
Pond Cottage, and the pond itself on the right in autumn.
This lovely lane runs westwards from the village's central crossroads, but just beyond these cottages unexpectedly stops at a field gate. Perhaps it is a lost road as just a few fields beyond is the unsurfaced Ditchedge Lane, a very ancient, perhaps prehistoric trading route from the west midlands to Chipping Norton.
This area is deeply rural and scenic; hilly and retaining its small fields and hedgerows. Little visited by tourists who flock to the Cotswold honeytraps a few miles away, this area west of Banbury deserves to be better known.
