Edge Hill inclined plane The trees mark the route of the Edge Hill Light Railway inclined plane.  This was a rope-worked incline used to take wagons up and down from ironstone quarries at the top of Edge Hill to Burton Dassett sidings on the Stratford & Midland Junction Railway.  The line closed almost as soon as it was opened in the 1920's due to the changes in ironstone mining after WW1.  It lay dormant in a timewarp until it was dismantled in 1946.

Arnold's Farm stile This recently installed stile is equipped with a lift-up "dog gate" and is located beside the Kineton - Banbury road.  The footpath heads straight across the field and the way can be seen marked out by what appears to be tractor tracks.
