Very pretty arch and view through it. Bench to grab a quick break

Tip by

Sometimes the Alpacas are out in force, really fun creatures if you have the right food for them, just be careful of their spit! A welcome sight when riding past on a very quiet and wide country lane.

Peering over the fence is the former station building (now a house) which closed in 1964. The fence is actually sat on top of the platforms, whose brickwork can be seen through the vegetation.
