Farm bridge over the disused Rugby to Leamington Railway Line
Bridge over dismantled railway Looking ENE along the trackbed of the now dismantled Leamington Spa to Rugby railway. The bridge carries a farm track and a bridleway over the railway. Although the trackbed is not an official right of way, it is used as such by walkers and cyclists, although it is very wet and muddy in many places. There is an easy way down from the bridleway onto the trackbed on the far side of the bridge, but on foot only.

HS2 enabling works, Welsh Road area, June 2021 (13) Another view from beside the Fosse Way into the contractors' compound. It felt like a village. With each laborious step along the verge my jaw dropped a little bit further. The site occupies much of the area bounded by the Offchurch Greenway, Fosse Way, and the Long Itchington Road – seven hectares at a rough estimate. Sutton Spinney does not appear to be included in the site. Are they offices in the distance, or accommodation?
