Pedestrian underpass on Foxcovert Walk, Werrington

The underpass is located on the section of Foxcovert Walk which passes underneath David's Lane. The pathway follows the route of Foxcovert Road (also spelled as Fox Covert Road), which previously connected Werrington on the northern periphery of Peterborough with the villages of Glinton and Peakirk. It was created in the 1980s when the area was extensively developed with the construction of houses, schools and retail and leisure facilities. Foxcovert Road was split into two when the level crossing on the Peterborough to Lincoln railway line near Glinton was closed to motor traffic during the 1980s. Consequently, the sections of Foxcovert Road in Werrington and Glinton are no longer linked although the route remains accessible to pedestrians and cyclists.
