This deceptively quiet and peaceful cutting is less than 200 yards from the WCML and the M6 motorway. The location, now a private nature reserve, can be reached along a permissive pathway along the old trackbed from Garstang. The Royal Train was stabled here overnight on at least 2 occasions during WWII as a safe place on the way to Scotland. (Map Ref SD 505455).
