Minis by the Fosse

Fosse Garage has specialised in Minis since 2011 and there is a fine line up of the cars for sale here right by the Fosse Way. The bridge carries the Leamington - Banbury railway.

Derelict cow shed below Radford Barn

Although just outside the Whitnash boundary, the Whitnash Neighbourhood Plan envisages the restoration of this building as a refuge for ramblers with access from Whitnash by a new footbridge over the nearby brook.

A small feeder of the River Severn

This tiny brook runs in to the larger Whitnash Brook just a few yards further on. The latter joins the River Leam in Leamington Spa, about 2 miles north of this point, and that river becomes a tributary of the River Avon between Leamington Spa and Warwick. Finally after flowing through Warwick, Stratford-upon-Avon and Evesham, the Avon joins the Severn at Tewkesbury.

Beyond the pale

The railway bridge shown is viewed from the north-east side of the ex-GWR London to Chester line and about three miles south-east of Leamington Spa. This line effectively marked the eastern boundary, or pale, of Great Western territory and since the photographer was to the east of the line, he is 'beyond the pale'. The small white plaque to the left of the arch is inscribed 'DCL Bridge 123 103 miles 550 yds'. It means that the bridge is on the Didcot to Chester Line (a very old designation) and 103 miles 550 yards ( or 25 chains) from the GWR datum point at London, Paddington station.

Asymmetric tower near Harbury Lane

The power lines to Harbury village turn sharply east here. The route behind the camera may avoid the Leamington and County Golf Course; note the Leyland Cypress screen, left. On the right, a dog walker's path around this vacant land: there is easy access and parking at the Harbury Lane playing fields.

A racetrack. It crosses the Fosse Way SP3460 before reaching the village of Harbury.

B4455 Fosse Way heading north

At the cross roads, Blaken Knob. Left to Whitnash, right to Harbury and other places, but not for 'JLR/AML' traffic, apparently. This seems to mean Jaguar Land Rover and Aston Martin Lagonda, who are at Gaydon.
