Bucknell to Stowe Road

Lane on the Shropshire side of the Teme. Very narrow with few passing places. If on a bike, this is preferable to the fast A road on the Radnorshire side.

Serious fencing

This over the top barbed wire is nothing to do with the railway, which is protected by its own normal fence. It crops up on the Teme side of the road in several places, and is probably an attempt to protect the fishing. A disgusting eyesore - makes the place look like a landfill.
