Cornish Rail: St Austell to Penzance

This, the second of two volumes covering the railways of Cornwall, follows the railway through the beautiful landscape in the west of the county. More than 180 stunning full-colour photographs take the reader on a journey that starts in St Austell, against the backdrop of the clay workings, before passing a huge variety of scenery including farmland, former mine workings and fruit farms before reaching the coast and Penzance. Also included are the operational branches. Nostalgically, the Hayle Wharves branch has been included and is the only line in the volume that no longer exists.
