FOOTPATH 10: (Lairstall Drove) leaves Cow Fen Drove (footpath 12) after 200m and heads north-east as a gravel and grass track with ditches and drains alongside. It crosses the disused railway line and follows a deep main drain for the local drainage system until it crosses the Swavesey drain, which is the main drainage channel for the whole area. Water voles may be seen here. A patch of scrub where the drain and railway meet is the site of the old brickyard which produced the red bricks seen in some Swavesey houses. This is an area where sparrowhawks may be seen or heard. Beyond the drain is the footpath to Over and an opportunity to leave the public footpath and explore the adjacent meadow and orchard under a permissive arrangement through the Countryside Stewardship Scheme (see information board).
