BAILEY'S OCCUPATION CROSSING

This is a farm crossing located midway between Beggar's Bridge and the Eastrea - Benwick road. Although it is plain track in the middle of a flat fen, and therefore pretty featureless, it has the distinct advantage of also being midway between Whittlesea's Down Distant and Three Horseshoes' Up Outer Home, thus allowing you to sit in your car and not worry about getting snuck up on! It is on a public bridleway and, although busy with farm traffic, there is no reason why you should not be there!
