- A 10km running course (circa £50k): A track suitable for distance running both for everyday use and for large one off events.
- A farm track linking two of the University Farms (circa £300k - £500k): A single track roadway (with passing places) suitable for farm vehicles and for the occasional transportation of animals (predominantly cows and sheep) between farms.
