The Stratford-upon-Avon & Moreton-in-Marsh Railway was a horse worked line which was built as an extension to the Midlands canal system. It began at the once extensive canal basin at Stratford and headed for Shipston-on-Stour and Moreton-in-Marsh. Plans to take the line on to London never came to fruition. A preserved wagon stands on the old formation near what remains of the canal basin. A short distance away is the magnificent multi-arch bridge which took the line across the River Avon. Today this is a footpath. 
Beside the line is the Old Tramway Inn. Once south of the river the formation is carried on an embankment. There is a footpath from the line to the adjacent Old Tramway Inn. 
A road bridge over the route of the line. Further out from Stratford the line runs in a cutting, with a magnificent bridge carrying a road over the line.
