Historic Tramway Path

Highlight • Historical Site

These stones are remnants of an old tramway, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past. Once part of a transportation system used to carry goods or passengers, they serve as a tangible link to the area's industrial history.

Union Colliery Tramway Descent

Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

This descends for a good while down the old Tramway. Prepare for a LOT of Stone mine cart sleepers. Suspension necessary (It is descendable on a gravel bike if you (like me) don't mind some brutal abusive descending)
