The footpath crosses the dismantled Devizes Branch railway. This view is looking east towards Devizes. Devizes was first reached by a branch line from Holt junction on the Wessex main line in 1857. The line became a through line in 1862 when the GWR Reading to Hungerford line was extended to Devizes via Pewsey. It returned to being in branch line in 1900 when the Stert to Westbury link was built. The line and all of its stations closed in 1966.
