Gate and footpath sign, near A5, Shawell
Gate into wooded area on side of former railway embankment, near A5 Watling Street. This is at the site of former bridge across A5 which was demolished some time ago. Some of the brickworks remains in piles amongst the trees.
The route of the footpath / ROW is unclear, the sign suggests it goes through the trees. However to right of this photo, there is a stile across onto A5.

Fields and bridleway near Newton
View from bridleway, just north of M6 motorway, looking down fields towards dwellings on A5 Watling Street.
Crane on right is in Carilion's yard on A5. Immediately in front of this, in trees running left to right, is route of old railway embankment. Oh, and friendly cattle in field.
The Roman settlement of Tripontium was once on land in this area.
