On an old route of the Gloucestershire footpath CST55, which now runs slightly to the East. There is an orphaned slab to the North at ST7299 : Stone Stile, Stinchcombe which would have been where the old route exited onto the current path.

Berkeley Road - the old station

Looking north from the bridge on the A38. Berkeley Road Station stood here; the Stationmaster's house is just visible on the right. The line just disappearing off to the left leads to Sharpness docks and, once, across the Severn to Lydney.
