Dist:0.2km<br/>The redundant railway bridge, over Kerdiston Rd.,now carries a popular walking path.

Dist:0.3km<br/>At the start of a public footpath. The path turns off Kerdiston Road and follows a stream in northerly direction. The gate mechanism is interesting in that when pushed apart the two halves form a V-shaped gap; after passing through they revert back to the closed position as depicted here.
