Old railway bridge The former Bishop's Stortford - Braintree railway crosses a byway. The Flitch Way cycle path, mostly using the railway route, does not cross here, but ramps down from the embankment on the other side of the bridge. It then passes under the bridge and uses the byway for the rest of the way into Great Dunmow.

Off-roaders' wallow The public byway here is a magnet for off-roaders, who, fortunately for other users, confine their more extreme fun to tracks off the byway, between the byway and the River Chelmer. This is perhaps the most extreme bit I found. It appears to be rather deep.

Footpath to Little Dunmow The path skirts round The Moors to the left. In these parts such a name implies a pretty damp area. The mapped route of the public path actually passes through this, but there is no trace of anybody trying to follow the route. There is a fair bit of optimistic routing of public paths through marshes around here, fortunately most have reasonable ways round, as this.

River Chelmer under A120 A public byway passes to the right of the columns on the right, and the area seems to be popular with off-roaders. The bollards along the river banks are almost certainly to deter attempts to ford the river here.
