This was the route of a planned cut-off to provide an improved railway link between Goodwick with Letterston. The bends and gradient of the existing one were proving troublesome for the rolling stock and the idea was to replace the line with one running through Manorowen Wood. Work ceased when WW1 broke out in 1914 but two bridges remain, one immediately to the right of the image, and some of the cuttings where the tracks would have been laid.
