A Wodland path

Here are 2 shots of the path we made over the last week or so.
The wood is not very big and is made of up mainly damson trees with a couple of big hawthorn. There are some elder bushes. Also Viburnum opulus, Acer purpureum, Malus John Downie and one or three bushy honeysuckle.

First of all 'wood' is a bit of a cheek, there are only about 10 big trees altogether. The area is triangular and about 15 m by 15m by 15m. At one corner is an 25m tall Perry pear, the next corner is an 8m damson and the 3rd is an 8m hawthorn. The path is a sort of ark from the bottom corner almost up to the top and out at the third corner.
Sadly there is no stream, but outside in the field behind a a spring which the farmer has culverted away.
Only wild life are birds and frogs so far.
We have spent the last 2 days clearing about 8m by2m of it to transfer the snowdrops from the path. We have removed 100kgs of broken bricks, 8 25kg, bags of ivy roots and found about a ton of 'field stones'. (look like the rounded pebbles from a beach). It will take along time to get it plant-ready.
