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.
