In the 1960s, in an attempt to improve profitability of Britain’s railways, the Beeching Cuts closed around 200 stations and 5000 miles of our railways. A few have reopened since and many others have become footpaths, cycle ways or bridle paths.

I love disused railway lines – they’re definitely some of the best places to walk or cycle. Just knowing the drop is there would probably make me wobble though!

Ha! Hope people don’t fall off their bikes trying to figure out the sign…

Don’t wobble–no kidding! This is a great idea for trails.

Very kind of them to put that warning sign. I haven’t seen any thing like that before.

That’s a hilarious sign. I love it as much as the ones we have that feature a giant kangaroo which appears to be about to crush a car.

That kangaroo sign sounds fun!

I haven’t seen a sign like that here, but I do like the re-use of rail lines into trails.

We have done that here to in the US with old tracks. Some of the best hikes can be on old rail beds. Great sign.
