A spectacular collection of Britain's most noteworthy disused railway structures, from historic bridges to moody tunnels and sky-scraping viaducts. Whilst many have been reborn into sustainable transport roles since redundancy claimed them, others await discovery amidst nature's reclamation of these former industrial corridors. The book records the ambition, endeavour and sacrifices of the Victorian pioneers behind 100 engineering feats, with insight on how to find and explore them. Railway Wonders is a valuable companion to families seeking adventure, as well as those fascinated by our railways' rich social history and eye-catching landscape impacts.

Graeme Bickerdike is a writer and campaigner who has been documenting Britain's legacy railway structures for 20 years. He stands as a strong advocate for their sympathetic management and repurposing.
