The developers and Stroud district council are promising a new railway link – but travelling north only, not south to Bristol!
In reality, the likelihood of this new rail link happening are as good as zero. The reasons for the false promises and why the new railway link and new stations will not happen are explained here.
NEW for weekend 22 & 23 May 2021
The first walk has a ‘railway theme’ and has been split into two very easy, short walks due to the weather and recent rainfall. This Berkeley walk takes you to the old Berkeley Station and the heritage railway project which are well worth a look. Even if you walk just the very short and paved first bit of this route, you will have an interesting and rewarding walk.
Map, easy directions and photos are all here.
NEW for weekend 22 & 23 May 2021
The first walk has a ‘railway theme’ and has been split into two very easy, short walks due to the weather and recent rainfall. This Sharpness walk takes you around old tracks and to a great view of the docks, then over a bridge for a bird’s eye view of the railway line. There is footpath link between this and the Berkeley Railway walk, giving the option to connect the two walks.
Map, directions and photos are all now included here.
