Goosard Bridge

Category:

Turn right along the drive, on the left are steps leading up to Goosard Bridge. At different times in the past it has been called Gooseyard and Gooseherd. Walk across the road, taking great care, and walk down a flight of stone steps opposite. These originally formed the pedestrian access to Paulton Halt on the GWR Railway. Don't take the stile immediately on the right at the bottom of the steps, but walk on about 10 yards to reach­ the old railway line, which is now a permissive path. Turn right and follow the railway line for just under a mile.
