Dist:0.5km<br/>A straight lane leading across the mid-Devon countryside, here partly lined with trees at the side of the verges and ditches. The lane leads to Beaworthy. The van is parked near Broadmoor Farm which is in SX4599.

Dist:0.5km<br/>One would never know that the LSWR North Cornwall railway once ran here and there was a large country station.

Dist:0.5km<br/>View northward, towards Wadebridge and Padstow on the ex-LSW North Cornwall line, also the branches to Bude and to Torrington. The train is headed for Okehampton and Exeter, hauled by SR Maunsell N class 2-6-0 No. 31845 (built 9/24, withdrawn 9/64).

Dist:0.5km<br/>The name and the picture are reminders of when this village was the site where two lines branched away from the Okehampton to Bude railway line, one running north to Bideford, the other south to Launceston.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Once a busy railway junction this Inn was beside the station. A railway level crossing once crossed the road here. Now there is no trace of the railway but the Inn still survives named after the railway which shut in 1966.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Named by someone with an ironic sense of humour; the modern estate is built close to the site of Halwill Junction station and Dr. Beeching was responsible for the closure of passenger services in 1966.

Dist:0.6km<br/>The last railway links to Halwill Junction were lost when Dr Beeching cut many rural lines in the 1960s. This name is a reminder of the loss.

Dist:1.2km west<br/>Looking across the headwater valleys of a tributary of the River Carey, southwest of Halwill Junction. Lines of trees mark the watercourses, although aerial views show that rather less is wooded than appears from the photograph. The farms, East and West Croft, are out of square. The horizon is formed by the high land of Broadbury.

Dist:1.2km south<br/>A stream follows the line of trees, descending to the right from Broadbury towards Halwill and eventually joining the River Carey. This view across meadows is from the lane between Upcott and Halwill Junction near the entrance to Henderbarrow Farm.

Dist:1.3km northeast<br/>This no through road runs for well over two kilometres from Halwill Junction, eventually reaching Leasefield Farm. Here it dips a little to run past lakes at Anglers Paradise, to the left.
