The red dot
at 'Thorpe Underwood' indicates the site of Thorp Green Hall,
and the mauve dot above Little Ouseburn shows the location of
Little Ouseburn Church. The green patch to the right of this,
indicates the site of 'The Long Plantation' - the wood in which
Anne wrote her celebrated poem 'Lines Composed in a Wood on a
Windy Day').
Our
starting point is at the junction of Score Ray Lane and the old
Roman 'Green Hammerton-to-Boroughbridge road' (B6265) (just below
the yellow dot - near the centre on the map above) - a very quiet,
rural location, just over a mile west of Thorp Green. We'll begin
by making our way eastwards, between the fields, along the narrow,
1·25 mile long, Score Ray Lane. Haworth lies about 40 miles behind
us, though Horton Lodge is 70 miles from Agnes Grey's abode. A
little way along the lane we negotiate a tight 'S' bend, continue
about another three quarters of a mile, then pause about one hundred
yards from the lane junction . . .
