fear of heights

Well, it's the northwest, there are a lot of roads between Manchester and Liverpool. This is a culvert under a motorway. There are two side by side in fact. The wall at the right of the picture is thin, on the other side it's exactly the same only without the stream. I believe it's so you can get horses across the motorway without having to using the thin pedestrian bridge a little further on. Of course, as it's used by horses and never gets dried out by the sun it's very muddy and smelly that side. This side can be walked without risk to your boots though. Which is just as well, because with my fear of heights there's no way I'd get over the motorway otherwise.

Both photos are on the way back incidentally, although the view is similar the other way. A little further on I was stopped by exactly the same problem over a narrower road. Though there it might be possible to take a risk with the traffic and cross from bushes on one side to bushes on the other in a quick dash. I'll have to give it a try.
