The green at Shaw Green is a couple of hundred yards south of the cluster of houses and farms, next to Shaw Green cottages, a paddock through which runs Shawgreen Way, a broad path although one that was blocked beyond the green by a fallen tree when we last went through. But the delay working out how to negotiate the fallen boughs gave me time to look around at the creepers curtaining the way and the gloss left on dead wood by the recent rain.

The path now runs out at Cumberlow Green where the farm is on the T-junction of the lane from Cromer to Rushden and the winding road from Baldock to Buntingford.
