The ford is easy to drive through in a normal car (if you have to), but there is a footbridge for pedestrians. There is a really great tea room right next to it

Footbridge at the side to avoid getting wet feet :)

The place where Winsford likely gets its name. Ford is an old word for a ford. If the name of the stream is Winn Brook, Winsford is a logical choice 😁
