Product description

Presenter Julia Bradbury walks what remains of the railway lines closed as a result of the Beeching cuts of the 1960s. With over 4,000 miles of railway and 3,000 stations closed in the decade following the report, many of the routes have become a mecca for ramblers across the country. Walks featured include: Derbyshire - The Monsal Trail, Wales - Dolgellau to Barmouth, Speyside - The Strathspey Railway, Cornwall - Coast to Coast Trail, Weymouth - The Rodwell Trail, and Callander - Callander to Loch Tay.

An Excellent DVD for anyone intested in walks and/or railways

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 7 February 2009

Verified Purchase

I first became aware of Julia's adventures when I came across the second series of the Wainwright Walks: Complete BBC Series 1 & 2 Box Set on TV. Shortly after I searched Amazon for the Wainwright Walks, during which I came across this DVD on 'Railway Walks'. This immediately grabbed me and I have to say that it doesn't disappoint.

It is made in the same ease to watch way as the Wainwright Walks, and like them is filled with information that is easy to take in. During her travels, she not only guides you through these stunning walks, but also looks at the history of the railway's which used to occupy these routes. If you're worried this could be more of a history program then a walking one, then there's no need to worry, as the two are knitted together so well, there is always something to cover both areas. But it has to be said that seeing the things that she comes across during her travels, you may become a little interested in the building, landmarks, sights, and locations that you see throughout the DVD, and they are covered with good grace. On the other hand, if you are interested in the history of railway's, and not so interested in the walking, I can guarantee that this DVD will not let you down either. And if you're interested in both, then this is frankly a must have. But to be honest, I think anyone who buys this DVD, knows what their getting and I can confirm that it will not let you down.

In short, this is an excellent DVD that gives the viewer a easy to watch look into some of the best Railway walks in the country. As Julia takes you through these walks, she looks at some of the history concerned with them, not just history relating to the lost railways, but also to the local land and areas, which I think anyone who is considering purchasing this DVD will greatly appreciate. It even includes an interesting guest appearance from her father.

Escape from reality

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 3 May 2011

Verified Purchase

For those of you who like walking or not this dvd is a must. It will take you to parts of the UK that are usually missed due to the lack of accesability and the fact that a lot of railways are hidden from sight. One of the best walks has to the the Barmouth (Mawddach) trail that snakes it way along the estuary to the beautiful Barmouth Bridge. Even if you are a bit lazy this will envigourate you to get out of the car and go for a walk. Julie Bradbury makes it interesting and in a non preteentious narration. It's more "as is" and nothing is missed. If it's a hard walk she will point this out. Even if you have never walked in your life except to the bus stop this will make you want to! Also the photography is spectacular with long shots and panormaic views.

The best DVD of railway walks!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 25 March 2010

Verified Purchase

This was truly a marvellous find - what an amazing way to present a railway walk!! Lots of history, geography and information about the former railway with archival photos, etc. The people she interviews are fascinating and their knowledge is just incredible. I loved every walk, we originally borrowed the DVD from Dad's friend but now we own it - It's that good!!!
I would recommend this DVD to anyone with an interest in railways, or who wish to know more about some fascinating parts of England that you wouldn't normally hear about!! Truly an amazing set of walks - hopefully there will be lots more where this came from!!

Social history, geography and exercise all in one

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 16 January 2009

Verified Purchase

Not only does this wonderful DVD invite the viewer to don his or her walking boots and follow in Julia's trail, it also informs the walker as to what is (or not thanks to Dr Beeching) along the route with explanations as to why. Thanks to this series we discovered a beautiful walk in Wales that took us along Afon Mawddach from Penmaenpool to Barmouth, which finished with fantastic views inland as we crossed the famous Barmouth Bridge. Julia's excellent presentational style and charming personality grabs your attention and does not release you until the last frame of the last episode. Television at its best; I cannot commend this DVD strongly enough.

Great concept - poor execution

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 24 October 2014

Verified Purchase

This is a superficially attractive little series , but please do not expect to learn very much from it. The concept is good and I was looking forward to being both entertained and educated. Unfortunately presenter Julia Bradbury (who people seem to either love or loath) totally dominates the program. She comes over as smug and self-important and , more importantly , offers very little by way of insights or information. Contrast , for example , with Michael Portillo's railway series , where a great deal of information is conveyed and the presenter serves the content rather than the reverse as happens here. You will end up knowing much more about Ms Bradbury than you will about the places she visits.

Getting up steam

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 9 November 2008

Verified Purchase

The idea I suppose is to get up and active. Sitting at home in comfort I found the series a pleasing experience from a number of points of view. It combines the romance of the steam age with wonderful scenery.(Why, oh, why have these lines been dug up!! The televised series has been put in the context of the Beeching axe) The very delightful presenter, Julia Bradbury, introduces people, including her Dad, who knew the place when these walks were railways. They talk about issues affecting them. An imaginative follow up the the Wainwright walks. Now I want to get my boots on and walk the trail (or rather the bits I can still manage!)
