If you project the Avenue alignment beyond Sidbury Hill, it passes directly through the intersection of a number of footpaths and an earthwork with Chute Causeway at a place called Scot's Poor on the western side of Haydown Hill.
This looked interesting enough to warrant a visit to the location, especially since James had mentioned that there were good views over the countryside to be had from this part of the world.
I certainly wasn't prepared for the wonderful appropriateness of what I found there though...
Sunflowers on the Avenue alignment!
In a bizarre coincidence (ha!) I found that along the edge of the byway that follows the Avenue alignment for the last half mile up to the intersection at Scot's Poor someone has cultivated a wide strip of sunflowers at the edge of a field of wheat.
