And it clearly has some sort of way across it, but i have no idea if
it's public. Google maps has no idea, of course. My OS map doesn't
show any kind of footpath or similar across it. OpenStreetMap,
though, shows a 'track', a red dashed line, across it:

Does anyoen have any idea if i would be able to walk, and wheel a
bike, across here?


The normal position of the barrier is way up in the air, like this:

That is also the position in the original photo: you can tell by the shadow.
