This public right of way is the main route for many villagers to Middle Barton Primary School, with the Mill Ford being completely impassable. Since the floodwater has receded, another hole (smaller red circle ) is evident, meaning there is only a small strip of tarmac to accommodate 'single file' transit onto the bridge.
