‘Sustrans’ Cycle Path on MSWJ

The Marlborough Branch Line from the terminus at Marlborough High Level Station to Savernake Low Level Station still exists ‘on-the-ground’, but lies on private property with no footpaths along its course.  The Line itself is also heavily overgrown and not easily traversed.


There is a similar problem with the M&SWJ Line from Marlborough Low Level Station to Savernake High Level.


However, there are enough Rights of Way along their routes to enable a reasonable Walk of both railways, covering some of The Wansdyke along the route.
