Hidden path to the Viking Hide Just off the bridleway this narrow path leads to the birdwatching hide at Marston Bird Scrape. See <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/215758">SK8942 : Information board at Marston Bird Scrape</a> for information. The hide has disabled access ramps although it would be hard going along the soft ground at the field edge from the roadside car park to this path.

Cross if you dare! A plethora of signs at this crossing on the main north/south railway line. The middle sign on the far post warns, "High speed trains in excess of 100mph pass this point. Take extra care when crossing". The sign with the red border on the near post says "Persons in charge of animals, phone signalman before crossing."
