Cycling the Holyhead Breakwater Railway|Holyhead-Breakwater Country Park|12/05/2018

Here we cycle part of the Holyhead Breakwater Railway which is now a road leading to the Breakwater Country Park near the quarry at Holyhead Mountain where the railway served, 12/05/2018. We cycle there and then back to the railway station. The line was built as a broad gauge line in 1845 to transport stone from the mountain to the breakwater when it was under construction and later for maintenance. In 1913 the line was regauged to standard and was connected to the Chester to Holyhead Railway. Class 01s were introduced to the line, when steam ended, and worked the line until the 1980s. Look out for the old breakwater loco sheds and, near the end, the ATW Premier Train/Cardiff Set which was in the sidings with 67020.
