- Join me as I take a walk along the Cloud Trail which was once the railway between Ashby de la Zouch and Derby. Even though this line closed to passengers in 1930 it continued as a freight line until 1980 and was used during the war becoming a military line from 1939-45. in this first part of a three part series I discover this line still has plenty to show from its distant past.
Been around there myself recently, I can smell railways, used and disused, love that Culvert at the start. The Ashby Canal is close to my heart, nice to see that brick work hasn’t been tagged!
Thanks for watching. It's a lovely walk and certainly worth a visit. I know the feeling! Driving around and seeing a bridge or line of trees and wondering what it used to be!!
Plenty to see by the looks of it, and you’re already whetting my appetite for the next instalment! Good to see you out and about again, and a really nice way to round off my day.
Thanks as always. Yes this adventure gets better s it goes along part 2 and 3 reveal some fantastic old treasure
Great to see your latest discovery always enjoy your adventures rediscovering the railway trails 😄👏
Thank you and thanks for your continued support. Really. Nice easy walk this one no climbing for a change! Part 2 & 3 reveal some real gems...
👍👍 Great to see you back Middy
Thanks buddy it's good to be back 👍
Some very interesting finds re the metal work on the side of the track bed, great to see no-one has nicked them too. That stone bridge was a beauty, absolutely solid by the looks of it, looking forward to part 2 later.
Thanks for watching as always. A really nice walk on a comparatively easy path for a change! Part 2 reveals some more lovely bridges and part 3 goes wild!!! Thanks again 👍
@@MiddyExplores Nice one, we all love to go wild every now and again!!!!
Hi Pete
Great video mate.
I love the cloud trail,cycled it hundreds of times over the years,especially in may time when the fields are all yellow with the rape seed,
If you’d of turned right about 300 yards from the car park there’s a great path that takes you up to a viewpoint which looks down into the quarry.
The stone in the bridge is probably the local breedon buff.
I remember watching the boeing Dreamliner following the Trent after it had a fly by past rolls Royce when it was first made.
Look forward to part 2
Hi Dave I will have to come back and see that view! Might even dust off my bike. It's certainly a great path/cycle way well worth a visit. Part 2 & 3 reveal some real treasures... Thanks for your support 👍
That looks good. Like the streams going along the path plus the bridges too
Thank you and thanks for watching. Even more to see in part 2 and 3! This line has a lot to look at!
Long time no see stranger. Good to see you again!
Thank you and it's good to be back. 👍
Great vid as always mate, great area to explore :)
Thank you great walk 👍
Where we live. Aston on trent. 15 minutes and we're on it. Cycled this in excess of a hundred times.
Bliss.
By the way it's Bardon quarry.
Thanks ❤️
Thanks for watching and the information. Only mildly jealous!!
Hi Middy, great video. Did you know you can get from the car park the other way along the dismantled railway line towards Ashby, coming out on Melbourne Road! Some is a bit overgrown but much is already a path. It joins the Coleorton line and fantastic tunnel at Newbold. Lots of bridges and features remain
Hi Jacqui and thanks for watching. You have read my mind as this is whats coming up in part 4! i havent filmed it yet so thank you for the heads up for the features. I have already filmed the tunnel at Newbold and its own video is on the channel. Thanks again
Ah good. I'd been interested to know what those boiler looking things are down by the bridge at the Trent end.
Thanks for watching. Yes I get to the Trent on part 3 and there is loads to see on route. Thanks for your support
