Walking The Derby Friargate GNR Line (Great Northern Railway) Etwall to Mickleover

I’ve lived in Mackworth all my life, used to play in the tunnel when I was a kid, you could still walk all the way through to Mickleover station then. Walk my dog around the side of the old cutting and through the fields every day. Thanks for your video 👍

Thanks so much for your positive comments. Living in Mickleover, I’ve often walked & cycled the route (including Mackworth via the green belt). Pity they closed the tunnel. Thanks for watching.

I love this! I missed the test track era by many years, but often walk the line. Very nice video!

Glad you liked it. Thank you for watching and for your kind comments :-))

@@Martpad I will be on the lookout for the landmarks when I walk the line again. I'm local, so it will be soon.

@@maninacave When we first moved to Mickleover the test track was in full operation - I know I'm really old lol. Enjoy your walks and check-out the newly refurbished telephone box by the station! Cheers.
