The cycleway is protected by gates like this along the whole path. Usually in correspondence of road crossings or when passing through private land with right of passage.

I rode it on my night ride 30th October 19 and a lot of the old posts / gates and ,pinch-points have been removed or widened, they also improved the track surface, making it not so wet and safer to ride, even in the dark.

look out for the old railway that was a cable pull type from the 1700s
