August 5, 2025, Public Footpath to Disused Railway

A quiet road through a beautiful area, partly following an old (dismantled) railway line. I was surprised that this road isn't on the map/OSM, even though it's a public road.

Small, very beautiful nature reserve, formerly a clay/lime pit. Amazingly diverse bird life - lots of young birds in June.
