Dist:0.7km<br/>Looking south along the trackbed of the dismantled railway. The railway was originally a horse drawn tramway from Moreton-in-Marsh to the canal basin at Stratford-upon-Avon built in 1826 with a branch to Shipston-on-Stour. The part from Moreton-in-Marsh to Shipston-upon-Stour was converted into a steam hauled conventional railway in 1859 and was dismantled in 1960. This is the view of the railway looking south from the crossing. See http://www.warwickshirerailways.com/gwr/mortonshipston.htm for more details and original photographs.

Dist:0.8km<br/>This view is from the opposite side of the minor road from Moreton-in-Marsh to Todenham. The track runs around the 'back' of the Fire Service Technical College to the A44. The college occupies the main part of what was once RAF Moreton-in-Marsh. The signs on the right of the track indicate that the college is Crown Property and warn of dire consequences for trespassers.
