Felling on the old railway embankment
The old Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway Bridgwater branch line was built across the north of Bawdrip from the late nineteenth century and lasted into the post-war era before closure. Now the tracks have been torn up, the line is still partly navigable as a footpath. However, some sections are regrowing rapidly and some work is needed to clear the timber. The path runs across the embankment to the other side via steps.
