Long-disused trackbed of the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway, which last carried trains up on to Exmoor in 1935. The track ran under the bridge the photographer is standing on, and straight into the distance, with the fence posts still showing the left boundary of the line

The Lynton & Barnstaple Railway was a 19 mile long narrow gauge railway, which ran across the stunning Exmoor landscape, from 1898, until its closure in 1935. In 2004, after many years of hard work and negotiation, a small section was re-opened. One of the world’s most famous little railways, you can read more of the exciting plans for the coming years at LinkExternal link
