Iford: path under the railway at Iford Meadows

The main London to Weymouth railway line crosses the River Stour (to our right) and then immediately passes at a low level across the meadows to the west of the river. In doing so, it splits the Iford Playing Fields (this side) from Iford Meadows local nature reserve (ahead). The line was closed for engineering work this weekend and we can see a large yellow vehicle, part of the said works, going about some business or other on the tracks above us.
