Old Railway Walk
Keswick, UK - Andrew Smith - Tuesday, July 11th, 2006 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
A few snaps from a walk down a disused railway at Keswick in the Lake District, UK.
It's been turned into a pleasant footpath, with numerous small bridges over the River Greta. It was used to transport coke (not the drinking stuff) and also bobbins for the cotton industry.

These are very lovely photos. I always enjoy a nice walk in the country. Thanks.

It is wonderfull to be shown the true beauty of keswick! Long may it live on.
