A pedestrian crossing over the Chester to Holyhead railway line. Access to the sea and the beach is surprisingly restricted for an area with such a high number of caravans. However the possibility of caravans in the area is largely down to the railway which was created on an embankment with a sea wall, thus allowing the drainage of the marshy hinterland. Failure of the sea wall near to this point was responsible for the flooding of the area in 1990.
