Forder Viaduct

Highlight • Other

The Forder viaduct was first constructed in wood in the mid 1800's. This was a cost cutting measure due to the high costs of creating the railway through the southwest. Over the following years the wooden bridges were replaced with stone ones as funds became available. This bridge was built in 1908. It's an impressive bridge carrying the railway over Forder Lake.

View of Forder Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

Perfect layby to view the railway bridge, that also overlooks Forder Lake. This would be the perfect place to view a passing steam engine on the bridge.

Godfather Fish & Chips

Highlight • Other

Not sure on opening hours, seems to have regular 'chippy' hours. Was busy when I called about 6 pm on a Friday but you can wait inside on a seat in comfort for your order. Small cod and small chip is actually a good light meal which is super-tasty. Best fish I can rem from a chippy in a long time. I think it is takeaway only, see related highlight for 'dining room'.

Bench in Small Park

Highlight • Rest Area

Tiny park with nice clean bench to enjoy fish & chips from Codfather or other snack of your choice. Clean public loo nearby (limited opening hours, shuts 7pm I think) and what seems a nice (though unvisited) pub is adjacent.
