There are currently over 7.5m images from over 14,400 individuals and you can help contribute to the project by visiting https://www.geograph.org.uk

The public footpath in the picture leads to an extant bridge over the disused Faringdon branch line, the top of which can just be made out in the right of the picture. The line joined the Great Western mainline at Uffington. It was opened in 1864 and the passenger service was withdrawn in 1951. Freight traffic continued until the Beeching cuts in 1964. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faringdon_branch
