This is a 3 mile walk along the former Bedford - Northampton railway between Bromham and Stevington. There are good views over the Ouse Valley and of Stevington Windmill.
At the above co-ordinates there is plenty of parking and an information sign about the area. There are some old bridge walls here either side of the road. The co-ordinates for the other end of the walk are N52 09.552 W000 33.895. This is the entrance to the farm but there is limited parking on the verges.
There are fantastic blackberries along the walk in September. Skylark Cottage lies ruined in the undergrowth towards the Bromham end of the walk and there is also an old Ganger's Hut. The cottage was the Crossing Keeper's. Today this is a crosspaths as the walk from Stevington to Bromham village crosses with the railway walk.
