Walking Disused Railways

Excited to find this ancient bit of railway & canal infrastructure. It's where the Kemble-Cirencester line crossed a road and the Thames Severn Canal just east of Sapperton. And that's me about to cross it 62 years ago! @WDRailways @FgottenRelics @PaulWhitewick @TrekExploration

@WDRailways Lovely walk, that. Bet it was as lovely a train ride.

A great example of a walk is from Monsal (Headstone) Viaduct to Bakewell in Derbyshire. This was on part of the Derby to Manchester railway line which closed in 1968. The 173 bus runs every 2 hours from Bakewell to Castleton until teatime and passes the top of Monsal Head.

@WDRailways Where is this? It reminds me of the Wirral way near Parkgate.

Don't Forget. If you're walking on any old disused railway lines, feel free to upload your pictures onto this site, as well of any recommendations of walking routes, for our followers to enjoy.

@WDRailways Bit of an outlier, given it's the other side of the world, but anyone thinking of coming to NZ anyway should check out the Otago Rail Trail, a gorgeous walking/cycling route along the disused railway track in Central Otago, South Island.
