Walking Britain's Lost Railways: Dartmoor

Series 1, episode 3

Directed by (unconfirmed)
Adam Kaleta

Rob Bell meets a man who has meticulously recreated the beginning of the Plymouth-to-Exeter line in miniature. He then charts this closed line through Dartmoor. In Tavistock, Rob samples the famous local rabbit pie and at the Ambrosia rice pudding factory, learns that the line was largely responsible for the UK-wide success of the business. After joining the Granite Way, which has now become a much-loved cycle route, Rob arrives in Okehampton before linking on to Exeter. This service exists now thanks to local campaigners - a small victory for lost lines and the communities they used to serve
