After the long  bridlepath wander I reach the copse known locally as the Plantation and a private wood with shooting signs up here and there---so I always keep to the track as I have heard shot-guns going off in the past here---shortly I reach a small Hamlet called Canada Combe--a small collection of cottages not far from the village of Hutton----At the top there are some good views over to the hill fort at WSM on a clear day---I like  passing thru  the combe---a place  that is changing with several old cottages evolving with the times and but  really not looking so much like quaint country cottages anymore..Time has moved on here  with new people  arriving and  making changes, adding on large extensions etc........clipping and cutting and widening the old tracks to make room for their +4 vehicles........yes in just a few years the tranquility here has almost gone.......still  some roses around the old cottages, still some evidence of unique oldness surviving----whow I must be getting old rambling on  bout Bob Dylan's 'The Times They are a Changin'..........yep folks whole landscapes all over the world  have changed  or evolved I guess....................
