Cox Green Road, near Rudgwick Cox Green Road near Rudgwick, on the borders of Surrey and West Sussex. Here, a bridge carries the road over the course of a dismantled railway.

A short distance south of this location, however, the railway passed through a tunnel. The tunnel is closed, therefore the path and cycle route climb up to the road, crossing the bridge then passing through woodland before rejoining the railway route.
