This is the start of the old railway line trail that runs from the Volvo garage (Low Road) in the west to Strawberry How Road in the east of Cockermouth town. The railway closed in the 1970s.

This path starts from the compound of Lloyds Cockermouth (BMW/Mini, former Volvo), behind Aldi or from Low Road close.

It is the rising section of railway built to link the Workington to Papcastle/ Low Road railway to Cockermouth Station which was the terminus for the Penrith, Keswick and Cockermouth Railway. It was always necessary to change at Cockermouth - there were never any through trains to Workington.
