Remnants of Carriage Roads in Broadway Woods

Kinda cool (at least for me :-) ) - there's a bunch of old road remnants that criss cross thru Broadway Woods.

In the 1800s, ox carts used to traverse these roads. They are pretty grown over and washed out now but they're a poignant reminder of how life was back then..
 There is an Old Well (Thanks John Lauria for showing this to me)
And something relatively new! Old Foundation (burnt down in the 1950s - recent!)
There is often history everywhere (old stone walls, foundations, bridge abutments, remnants of carriages roads, etc.) if you just look!
