I walked along this path this week (on Tuesday 25th November) but was told by the farmer that it is not a right of way and he is fed up with people trespassing.
There is an easy alternative route from the car park to Devils Den along footpaths that are marked on OS maps.

To what extent does Nupdale Lane still exist?

Is this a bridge or a tunnel?

The NW-SE rail line is tagged as tunnel=yes but it seems more likely that the GWR tracks are bridged over it
