Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. Reprint. In this volume, the author looks at converted lines in the territory of the former London and North Eastern Railway. Railway closures can be traced from the 1930s, with a sudden upswell during the 1960s, when the recommendations of the Beeching Report were implemented. Fortunately, far-sighted councils such as County Durham stepped in promptly following the Countryside Act of 1968, purchasing a number of abandoned lines for coversion into recreational trails and maintaining the continuity of the routes. As a result, the area covered offer an extensive selection of railway walks, with County Durham a national showpiece of what can be done. This book describes in detail ten of the best of these walks. The detailed descriptions of each walk includes OS grid references, helpful maps and illustrations, and comprehensive transport and refreshments information. If the walker's appetite for more exploration has been whetted, further walks, preserved railways and museums are suggested which shed light on the area's industrial past. The 'armchair walker' is also catered for, each chapter being prefaced with a full historical description of the line and a resume of its regeneration after closure. Railway walks offer something for everybody and with this book you can be sure that you'll be able to make the most of this fascinating and rather different aspect of the English countryside.
