Path of Castle Eden Walkway approaching brick-built bridge

The Castle Eden Walkway heading north towards a bridge partly concealed by trees and other vegetation. The Walkway is along the route of an old railway track. The purpose of the bridge is not known; perhaps it was just an accommodation bridge.

The Castle Eden Walkway is an old railway route, now a footpath and cycleway. Here it's seen looking south within the Wynyard Woodland Park to the west of Wynyard Village.

Pickard's Meadow

A 2012 orienteering map show the clearing to be all rough open and unfenced. Now much of the area is an improved field inside a barbed wire fence. There is a cattle handling pen near the now disused brick bridge over the old Castle Eden railway. The field is accessed from the trackbed. The rest of Pickard's Meadow is covered in young trees and scrub.
