More views of the Great Northern Railway Trail

The Great Northern Railway Trail is a recently developed cycle path and public bridleway which follows a section of the route of the (now disused) railway line which used to run from Queensbury through the villages of Clayton, Thornton, Denholme, and Cullingworth en route to the Worth Valley and meeting the main line near Keighley.

At present only the section around Cullingworth (which crosses no less than two scenic viaducts) is open as a right of way, but it is understood that there are plans to develop more of the original route for the benefit of walkers, cyclists and horse riders alike.
