## Travel Guide

![Dalwood: Umborne valley. At Wilmington Lane overbridge, looking south east towards Axminster on the London Waterloo – Exeter line. Here the railway climbs the Umborne valley from the Axe valley, eventually tunnelling through a hill north-east of Honiton to reach the town](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/182441/ea8d0c4a-fc94-420d-99e8-7079c57aa584.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)

![Dalwood: Telegraph Cottage. Looking south west by the road from Axminster to the A30 via Stockland Hill. Telegraph Cottage is probably very close to the site of Dalwood Common station on the manned signalling telegraph line from the Admiralty in London to Devonport. It functioned from 1806 to 1814, during the Napoleonic wars. It seems somewhat surprising that the station is this far south at this point, but the Plymouth line was an extension of one to Portsmouth which had opened in 1796. Today another communications system operates a couple of field lengths away: the high mast of Stockland Hill TV Station is a landmark for miles around](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/182441/f1b0168a-4508-4347-8946-a677e87d41b7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)

![Honiton Bank. Viewed from the rear cab of a Westbound train in 1999, the small derelict building on the left was once a signal box. When the line was two tracks there was an escape siding to the right to stop runaway wagons from running all the way down the bank. It is not known if this ever happened.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/177947/b42864e6-cf24-4aad-aa3c-8946e028b4d2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)
