Jeff Vinter, consultant to the BBC's popular Railway Walks series, here provides a detailed guide to ten of the best railway walks in the territory of the former London Midland and Scottish Railway. These range from the Midland Railway's express line through the Peak District to the incredible show more Cromford and High Peak Railway, built before railway engineering had fully evolved, incorporating a series of level sections connected by mountainous inclines. Between these two extremes, the rambler can explore the Brampton Valley Way in Northamptonshire, with its gentle countryside and stone villages, or a network of lines radiating from Lancaster into the delightful Lune Valley. show less
