Woolaston

Posted by NorthIsland on 30 March 2018 in English. Last updated on 1 April 2018.

Visited this lovely area some time ago and found not much detail, with few recent additions. I do like to ‘paint’ an area with landuse detail, as well as investigating roads, signs, and paths. As a map follower (rather than a sat-nav servant), I do like “the path starts just north of the wood and runs along east of the hedge to pass on the west side of a house”. Yes, my additions do stand out in a rather basic-mapped area, but I do look to when most of the UK becomes more clearly mapped. I think I have not trodden on anyone’s toes, but feel free to comment or amend. I follow a rural mapping philosophy of “it’s woodland or farmland” unless there is aerial view evidence of ‘meadow’ eg horsiculture, or worn/irregular grass or hillside etc. Note, after advice, I map large grounds around large rural houses as private garden (not park).

I’d think the grounds around a house may be better described as a garden - so leisure=garden, access=private?
