Gimble Thoroughfare

Road cycling

The platform is all that remains of the original Walberswick station which is marked here with a bench and commemorative plaque. The Southwold to Halesworth line was closed in 1929 after the larger Eastern line was never connected to the narrow gauge line as originally proposed. In the winter months when the bracken dies back you can see the drop to where the rails would have originally been which you can then trace to the now bridleway which goes on to the Walberswick Road in one direction and back over the Bailey Bridge to Southwold in the other

There's a commemorative bench tucked away in the undergrowth just off the path. If it wasn't for the straight former railbed that now forms the path you'd hardly suspect it was there.
