It has taken over 18 months to find archive movie footage of one of the West Country’s most beautiful railway lines. Known for many years as the Primrose Line, the branch from Brent to Kingsbridge in Devon followed the river Avon through countryside that can only be described as luscious in greenery and even in winter, still a beautiful sight.

This video was originally made in 1998 and has been restored as best we can, including now enhancing the original movie footage, some of which dates back to the 1960s.

The entire production is now on YouTube for all to enjoy.
