Fenny Compton is a little village in Warwickshire. The location is on the Chiltern line Between Leamington Spa and Banbury.
The majority of the traffic is multiple units run by Chiltern Railways and Virgin Cross Country Services.
DB Schenker and Freightliner provide frequent freight movements.
This location is a busy road bridge which crosses the line and the canal. Cars often pass at speed here, so be careful!
Take the A423 North towards Southam. You will notice a couple turnings for Cropredy, and a couple for Claydon on your right hand side. Once you have passed these, you`re almost there. The bridge is just before you reach Fenny Compton, but you really can`t miss it! However, if you pass the 'Wharf Inn' on your left, then yes, you`ve missed it!
You can 'bump' up and park on the bridge itself, but just a few yards further down the road are a couple of places where you can tuck in safely from the busy road.
There are a couple of pubs in the village of Fenny Compton itself, the nearest being the Wharf Inn (which you cannot miss, and is highly recommended.) A cup of tea can also be had at the Bygones museum in nearby Claydon.
Shots can be had from both sides of the bridge. However, for shots looking west, you will need a zoom lens to avoid the unsightly enclosure to the fore. Shadows creeping across the line can also be troublesome at certain times of the year.
