Dist:0.8km<br/>A footpath skirts the left side of this field that slopes steeply towards the River Dun, unseen to the left. In the middle distance it crosses the railway, with very steep steps either side and limited visibility crossing the tracks. Listen carefully and take great care.

Dist:1.0km<br/>This is the western part of the marsh, taken from the bridge over the railway to the south. This section is grassland, sometimes grazed by cattle. Beyond the canal are the watermeadows of the River Dun. The house, often only accessible by foot, is just outside the marsh area.
