About
This old railway line runs for about 9 miles from Bubwith to Gallymore near Market Weighton, almost dead straight and flat. Much of it is lined with woody scrub, making a green corridor full of wild flowers, shrubs and birds. Car parks are at Bubwith Highfields, Lincoln Flatts and Harswell Station; it can be wet and muddy in winter.
