The track down here is labelled a Restricted Byway, which is a good description. This is a seriously deep and muddy ford even with the river at a reasonably low level as in this picture. Tracks in the mud show that a tractor has used this recently, but to suggest it's a viable river crossing is a bit of a joke.
