Скачать или смотреть Tracing the Somerset & Dorset Railway Around Bruton

In this video I take a walk between Cole and Bruton in order to discover what can still be seen of the Somerset and Dorset Railway, between Bridge Nº 117, which carried the line over Wyke Lane, and Bridge Nº 124, which took it over the A359 between Castle Cary and Bruton.
The only bridges that remain are 122, Pitcombe Viaduct, and 123, over Mill Lane.
All of the rest have been demolished with their abutments still visible in some cases.
However, Cole Viaduct (Bridge Nº 119) has sadly been completed eradicated while Cole station itself does still exist, albeit as a private residence.
The trackbed between the station and Bridge Nº 121, which spanned the line just south of Cole, is now covered with a housing estate.
The trackbed beyond Bridge 121 towards Bridge 124 does still exist but is not walkable and nor is it beyond Bridge 124, towards Wincanton.
How nice would it have been had they preserved the trackbed, following closure, and converted it into a trailway, as has happened on other sections of the S&D but, sadly, this was not the case.
