Keswick to Penrith Railway Re-opening

RAILWAY FOOTPATH

This page will be devoted to information about the foot and cycle path which uses the Railway trackbed between Keswick and Penrith.

The foot and cycle path is a valuable resource for leisure, exercise and access to the countryside.
It even forms part of a "commuter route" for a growing number of users.
Early in the life of the Railway project it was recognised that when the railway re-opens there needs to be provision for foot and cycle traffic along the Keswick to Threlkeld corridor, off main roads.
Indeed, there would be plenty of opportunities for interaction -such as linear walks with a return by train.
How to provide for all types of usage has been considered at all stages.
CKP Railways plc's aim is to have "something for everyone" once the Railway is open, not to force a choice between the Path or the Railway.
