Barking?

Correct amount of corny-ness, but ... sorry, no.

Two thirds of the answer really is in the name ... picture taken on an evening walk along an old railway track not far from our home, when our walking group halted for a few minutes at a former station site.  And I've now completed the answer for you!

Sorry I thought everyone (well those of us from Wiltshire) would have it now the file name was visible.  I assume we are talking about the site of the former Black Dog Halt on the now defunct Chippenham to Calne branch. 

Further details including picture of the gate here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Dog_Halt_railway_station)

Night walk ... Lift to Calne. Calne to Chippenham on foot,  then back to Melksham on the train.
