Allowing intended users free access to a trail while blocking unwanted users can be quite involved and needs to be of robust construction. Here, walkers, joggers, bikes, pushchairs and (possibly) wheelchairs can pass unimpeded on the right. The arrangement on the left allows horses to step through while preventing all but the most determined motorcyclist. The locked central barrier is for maintenance and emergency vehicles only. The Knott Fold bridge is behind the camera. For a winter view and more information see Image
