Where to watch "Railway Walks with Julia Bradbury"
6. Callander - Gateway to the Highlands
No release date yet
Not only is this the longest and arguably most dramatic walk yet, but it passes through the unruly territory of Scottish clans and Rob Roy. The Highlands were a place to be wary of...until the railway arrived that is.
5. Weymouth - Harbouring History
No release date yet
The backstreets of Weymouth seem an unlikely spot to explore railway history, but as Julia Bradbury discovers, there was once a short railway that ran south from Weymouth and across the unique coastal features of Chesil Beach and Portland.
4. Speyside - The Whisky Train
No release date yet
The Speyside Way is one of Scotland's great walking routes, and between the villages of Craigellachie and Ballindaloch it follows the route of the railway that once served a remote area and a world famous drinks industry.
3. Cornwall - The Birth of Steam
No release date yet
Tin and Copper once made the area around Redruth the richest patch of land in the country. They also inspired great engineering feats and some pioneering tramways - the forebears of Britain's rail empire.
2. Wales - Discovering Snowdonia
No release date yet
The area between Dolgellau and the coastal resort of Barmouth is one of the least visited parts of Snowdonia. In the 1860s it received a great rush of holiday-makers, making use of the new railway that connected this stunning valley to the cities.
1. Derbyshire - Peak Express
No release date yet
Julia Bradbury begins her exploration of Britain's lost rail empire in the heart of the Peak District, with a walk along the popular Monsal Trail. Limestone cliffs and gorges abound, and the tunnels and soaring viaducts of the Midland Railway.
