Stinging nettles and overgrown shrubs are hanging over the path. In places you need to walk in the road to pass them. There is also a large crab apple tree which overhangs path, this causes a hazard for 2 reasons, the branches have sharp thorns and drops lots of apples onto pavement in the autumn which are really slippy.
