Geocache Description:

A cache hidden on Marriott's Way, a former railway now the site of a 26 mile shared path.

Marriott’s Way uses the trackbeds of two former railway lines, from Themelthorpe to Norwich and from Themelthorpe to Aylsham. The Themelthorpe to Norwich line was built in 1882 by the Lynn and Fakenham Railway Company which was taken over by the M&GN in 1893, as part of a line that ran to Melton Constable. This line gave a through route to the Midlands.

The Themelthorpe to Aylsham line was completed in 1893 by the Great Eastern Railway to provide a link to its other lines at Wroxham and County School railway station close to North Elmham. The lines were never profitable. Freight services were largely based on farm products and the line closed to passenger traffic in 1959. In 1960 the two lines were joined by the so called Themelthorpe Curve (believed to be the sharpest bend in the British Rail network).

Its was kept open due to the important movement of concrete products from Lenwade railway station. Once concrete production ceased in 1985 the line was closed.

A nano cache. Happy hunting ...
