The volunteer guide points out some of the plants in the meadow adjoining the track. The gate is to allow the sheep to be moved to different parts of the reserve. On the East side of the ring road there is a strip of meadow which has not been affected by the quarrying. However its raised location close to the deep railway cutting suggests it may have been part of the spoil bank when the cutting was dug in the 1830s. Walk round College Lake in the fog > Image
