Skylark Cottage Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

An interesting bijou residence in need of TLC - for sale at the time of my visit. Its situated next to a disused railway so, presumably, it was once a Railwaymans Cottage.

One short section toward the end of the ride was underwater and, because the farm track was worn down had to cycle through.
