Walking the Dartmoor Railroads

Regular price £6.00 Unit price per

Walkers, railway enthusiasts, lovers of Dartmoor, and anyone with an interest in industrial archaeology, will be delighted by this excellent guide to the railroads that once crossed Dartmoor's high moorland and border-country. From the early horse-traction lines (built to carry the once-extensive traffic in granite, china clay and peat) to the steam passenger lines built by the Great Western and the London & South Western Railways, railroads have left a superb heritage of walkers' routes through some of Dartmoor's loveliest countryside, as well as of fascinating historical remains.

In providing all the relevant historical information, clear maps and explicit instructions on the routes and the relics, Dartmoor-expert Eric Hemery opens up marvellous prospects for the walker. His breadth of knowledge and his enthusiasm for his subject are apparent on every page, and it will be a rare reader who will be able to resist joining him on his explorations.
