Fisherman's Walk Cliff Railway, Funicular railway in Southbourne, United Kingdom.
The Fisherman's Walk Cliff Railway connects the seaside promenade to the cliff top through a double track configuration spanning 128 feet in length.
Constructed in 1935 by Bournemouth Corporation, this funicular railway was built as the third lift system to improve beach access from the growing coastal town.
The railway serves as a transportation link between Southbourne's residential area and its beach, enabling residents and visitors to navigate the steep coastal terrain.
Operating between April and October, the funicular railway accepts card payments for single journey tickets, with each car accommodating up to 12 passengers.
The Guinness Book of Records recognized this funicular railway in 2015 for having the shortest track length of 39 meters worldwide.
