The main footpaths at Dunton follow the old plotland roads: First through to Fourth Avenues, and Central and Hillcrest Avenues at the perpendicular.
This happens elsewhere. Most of the main footpaths through Langdon Hills follow plotland roads, especially in Marks Hill Nature Reserve, where the tracks once had evocative names like Albermarle Crescent and Gladstone Road.
Also, many of the roads in the Great Berry estate took the names of their plotland predecessors, such as Egerton Drive, Highbank Drive, Forest Glade etc.
