While many old railways have been sold to private owners, there is now a network of several thousand miles which one can explore, trespass free, with official approval. Ideal for young and old alike, for families, those who need an easier walk, railway enthusiasts, walkers, cyclists or just those who are curious about local history, this essential guide will point you in the direction of one of this country's least known national resources - its network of former railway lines. Jeff Vinter has walked and acted as a guide on virtually every route in this book, is one of the most-respected authorities on railway rambling in the UK. Vinter's Railway Gazetteer is the only book to bring together all known railway routes in the country, criss-crossing every county and opening up unexplored, traffic-free areas of the countryside.
