Leapgate Old Railway Line
About the old railway line
The old railway line has changed little since the last train passed through over twenty years ago. Sometimes you are in a deep cutting walking below exposed sandstone rocks, other times you walk on an embankment above the surrounding countryside looking down on the rolling landscape.
Opening times
Open daily, 24 hour pedestrian, bike and horse access.
Admission is Free.
