This section of train was once an old tramway and it’s SUPER COOL to run or walk along. The trams used to be pulled by horses and transport coal down the valley.

The crumbling walls are still there in places as it winds above the river Wye. Getting to the tramway is easy from lower Lydbrook but if your coming in from the opposite direction at Catshill be prepared for a first mile of battling through overgrown trail and stingy nettles. It’s worth it!
