SX9498 : Sandy Lane level crossing

taken 8 years ago, near to Stoke Canon, Devon, England

Sandy Lane level crossing
Sandy Lane level crossing
Level crossing on the path from the A396 at Rewe to Burrow's Cross. The path is remarkably narrow, confined between long-established Devon banks, and would surely never have accommodated carts, so must be a bridleway. It is however recorded as an unclassified road. The level crossing is now equipped with gates which would pass a horse rider (although there was a time when there were kissing gates here fit only for pedestrians). The sign enjoins users to phone for advice on crossing the railway, presumably because of the poor visibility to the north.
A396 road

The A396 runs 42 miles, north-south across Somerset & Devon from near Minehead to near Exeter.
