Coney Meadow and Adjoining Areas (24 Viewers)

[Andris75]

Hi Andris,

You can view them from Sinton Lane near Moat Farm SO849627 - there is a flooded section of a grassy field. Viewing from the gate is usually OK but they can go out of view as the land undulates in front of the flooded area.

Thank you! I found in google map!
