The Yatton to Witham line was one of the prettiest and best-loved railways

in Somerset and is remembered with great affection by locals and railway

enthusiasts alike. It ran along the edge of the Mendip Hills through

Cheddar, Wells and Shepton Mallet. Today, walkers and cyclists enjoy

stretches of it as the Cheddar Valley path. This nostalgic journey along

its tracks uses many previously unseen photographs and will bring back

memories of the line in its heyday, picturing the trains that once ran on it.
