Broughton Railway walk

Follow part of the former Coniston railway on a gradually rising, compacted-stone track. The National Park describes a 4.5km outing with ‘for all’ options from Broughton, passing woodland, fields and small tarns.

Practical details

✓ Miles Without Stiles✓ For all: main options✓ Old railway✓ About 4.5km return

Visitor viewChoose the Wilson Park or Mireside start from the official guide. The short link between the two linear routes is only ‘for some’, because of its steep slope and rough surface. Turn around where the improved railway section ends beyond Mireside Farm. Toilets and refreshments are in Broughton, not along the trail.

Before bookingUse the mapped start that avoids the rough connecting slope for your buggy; keep dogs close around the farm.

Policies, opening times and services can change. Confirm anything essential directly before making a special journey or booking.
