Bulkeley Hill Narrow Gauge Railway, Industrial funicular railway in Cheshire, England.
The Bulkeley Hill Narrow Gauge Railway extends 350 yards with a 2-foot gauge track, featuring three catch points for safety measures along its route.
The Staffordshire Potteries Water Board constructed this railway in 1937 to support the development of water pumping stations at Peckforton and Tower Wood.
The railway site forms part of the Sandstone Trail, connecting visitors with the industrial heritage of Cheshire through preserved tracks and structures.
Visitors can observe the remaining railway infrastructure while hiking the trail, which includes an elevation gain of 345 feet over its length.
The railway grade reaches nearly 1:1 at its steepest section, making it the most vertical railway slope constructed in Cheshire.
