Before entering the wooded area, take a moment to look out accross the fields towards Eastrop farm, the Watchfield windmills, and if you're lucky enough to have a really clear day, as far as the distinctive rippled hills at Uffington.
Take care crossing the road (this is a bus route!) and beware of muggles!
Ground leading to the GZ is quite steep and a little uneven underfoot (muddy and slippery when wet which could end in a tumble to the GZ!).
