The old Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway Bridgwater branch line was built across the north of Bawdrip from the late nineteenth century and lasted into the post-war era before closure. Now the tracks have been torn up, the line is still partly navigable as a footpath. However, some sections are regrowing rapidly and some work is needed to clear the timber. The path runs across the embankment to the other side via steps.
