The Great Western's 1908 deviation from Brunel's original Cornwall Railway route of 1859 crosses a wooded valley on a high embankment before entering a cutting to the west, on the approach to the 452-yard long Shillingham Tunnel, which was excavated through hard blue elvan rock. Looking up the valley towards Broadmoor; the embankment is partly shrouded by trees. In Saltash parish

Small footbridge

Notice how small the exit for the stream is under the bridge, in times of heavy rain the stream comes over the bank on this side of the bridge. The bridge is in a small steep sided valley at the head of one arm of Wivelscombe Lake on the path between Shillingford Manor and Elm Gate.
