Exploring Devon and Cornwall's Branch Lines Paperback / softback

Description
The two most westerly counties in England remain hugely popular for travellers looking for a break in the UK.
Perhaps less well known is the fact that, against all the odds when faced by the Beeching Axe, a number of popular destinations can still be reached by today's railway.
From Barnstaple to Gunnislake, Exmouth to Falmouth, John Jackson explores the variety of lines and stations that remain on the railway map in the counties of Devon and Cornwall. With much of the area's industry now consigned to history, there is little remaining freight traffic in the area.
The main exception is the flow of Cornish china clay for export that is still carried by rail and centred on the area around Par and St Blazey.
The author has spent countless hours chasing these somewhat elusive workings in recent years. From rolling countryside to seaside views, these two counties have it all.
