Old Railway Line

The Old Railway Line.

The Trust owns a section of the old railway line from Coniston village to Haws Bank and maintains this as a permitted path. The track has been resurfaced and signed for walkers. Many locals and visitors use it as part of a circuit with the lakeshore path. Some of the trees along the line have been damaged in recent storms and many of the ash trees are suffering from dieback. The Trust has removed some trees and has planted smaller native shrubs and wildflowers to encourage biodiversity.
