A short trip to the Launceston. Along the old North Cornwall Railway's trackbed runs the Launceston Steam Railway, at 2 & 1/2 miles long. See more on the old North Cornwall Railway with the video below.

Running on the day, was 0-4-0ST+T 'Lilian', built by the Hunslet Engine Company in 1883 for use at Port Penrhyn and at the Penrhyn Quarries in North Wales. The ride from Launceston to New Mills is just over 10 minutes. The video is shaky, unfortunately, it is much more stable in person. It's another one of those must-visit railways, opened 4 days a week, with services departing on the hour. On this sunny day, I hope you enjoy the video.
