Road directions
Most folk reach Great Cheverell from Westbury or Lavington on the B3098 from which the village is clearly signposted. From High Street, turn left onto a lane known as The Green: the Trainspot is the bridge that takes this lane over the railway.
Parking
Park on The Green, ideally not too close to the bridge as it is slightly 'hump backed' and you may impair drivers' visibility of on-coming traffic. The road is quiet but does see occasional large agricultural vehicles so park well to the side.
Amenities
The attractive, 18th Century, Bell Inn on High Street offers food and there are village shops here and at nearby Earlestoke. Other than those in the pub, there are no toilets nearby.
Accommodation
The Bell Inn offers also accommodation at aronnd £85 for an en-suite double room, B&B.
The line runs broadly east-west through Great Cheverell, with an attractive curve. Photography is best for up trains in the morning and down trains in the afternoon. The over bridge to the west that takes Cheverell Road over the line is also a good location photographically (both directions) but as this road is much busier, it is a much less pleasant place to stand. Fig 3 with 60013, is looking east from the Cheverell Road bridge.
