| Welcome to the Railway Ramblers' website. As you
may gather from the title, we are a club that likes to explore
disused railway lines. We organise walks throughout the country,
for people of varying ages and abilities, usually on disused
railways, although occasionally we explore old canals and even Roman roads. We are not a high-powered
hiking club
concerned
mainly with clocking up the miles. We are more interested in
finding what remains of our industrial heritage, in good
company,
and ideally with a pleasant pub stop for lunch. If this sounds
like the sort of thing that interests you, take a look at
our

Left: 'Old railways are boring. They're all flat and,
half the time, you can't see anything from them.' We beg to
differ. This is the incline on Caradon Hill, Bodmin Moor, which
was once part of the Liskeard & Caradon Railway – actually
a tramway that conveyed tin, granite and above all copper via
Moorswater to the port of Looe in Cornwall. Photograph by Richard
