More about this scene

Cornwall's most westerly branch line, just 4 miles long, was opened from St Erth to St Ives in 1877. The railway viaduct crosses the little valley behind the beach, and the station platform is just beyond. Another major engineering feat on this scenic line is the rock cutting in the far headland. How things have changed at Carbis Bay - much of this scene has since been developed.
