<p>Good question!</p>
<p>Broom Junction station site is easily accessible for the moment; from there you can walk north to Alcester or south to Salford Priors along the remains of the Gloucester Loop Line. The southern curve of the Broom junction triangle is not a right-of-way but can be walked.</p>
<p>The line from the Arrow river bridge at Broom up to Bidford Road bridge is a nature reserve with a path.</p>

<p>Our 1/2 mile stretch of the SMJ trackbed is now a nature reserve, supported by the Butterfly Conservation Warwickshire volunteers. They, and my husband`s hard toil has transformed it from a dark tunnel of mainly Hawthorn on the embankments with nothing growing under them to a wonderful wildlife haven.</p>
<p>Even Grass Snakes on the embankments now spotted for 1st time in our 52 years here. </p>
<p>Should anyone want to walk it, yes it is private for now with a public footpath over, but just give us a ring</p>
<p>on 01789 773653 We would be delighted to see you. Jean. </p>

<p>There is about a mile of the track bed that is a community park North of Tiffield. Going North from Tiffield there is a left turn over the railway bridge. Just over the bridge is a staircase leading down to the track way.</p>
