We are hoping that the tunnel will soon be unlocked so that work can move more easily westwards along the track. As this is a live construction site, for health & safety reasons, please try to keep away from the area.
The route has been well cleared for long term safety and maintenance reasons and the cuttings & rock-faces have been thoroughly checked for any potential danger.
The route has also been cleared to a width, where possible, to allow for an ‘equine grass strip’ to run alongside the actual path. This is part of an incentive within the National Park Authority and Sustrans, to encourage further users to enjoy a safe and traffic free environment.
(This path is also designed to be a direct link to the new Play Park, from both the village and the Railway Path.)
Best regards,
Geoff Carter
