| Railway Walks JULIA gets her backpack and walking boots on again in Railway Walks to explore the great outdoors following the old tracks, overgrown cuttings and ancient viaducts of Britain's lost rail empire, visiting disused lines across England, Scotland and Wales. Through stunning landscapes and urban backstreets, each contrasting walk has a unique story to tell, offering Julia a window into industrial Britain and how the rise and fall of the railways has altered lives and localities across the country. Produced by Skyworks, the makers of Wainwright Walks, the first show of a series of six is aired on BBC Two on Monday 9th March when Julia began her exploration of Britain's lost rail empire in Derbyshire, the heart of the Peak District, with a walk along the popular Monsal Trail. Limestone cliffs and gorges abound, not to mention the tunnels and soaring viaducts of the Midland Railway – one of the most dramatic and unlikely main lines ever built. From there on, Julia ventures to Wales [Monday 16th March 2009], Cornwall [Monday 23rd March 2009], Speyside [Monday 30th March 2009], Weymouth [Monday 6th April 2009] and eventually, Callander [Monday 13th April 2009].
