Once a railway line running transporting agricultural produce, the trail now spans 11 miles through picturesque countryside.

Walking through Kingley Vale:

Start: “What a lovely stroll!”
15 mins later: encounters spooky tree with creepy vibes
End: "I'm never leaving the house again!"

Jokes! The Kingley ghosts are, in fact, very charming.
