Yes
Other than the station at Kingswear, the sidings at Goodrington and the bridge at Churston Station, can anyone give details of easily locatable points to photograph the trains on this railway

My health prohibits me from crossing rough terrain and climbing through hedges :D:D so need to be able to get relatively near with my car and to park up

Thanks
 
Only done it from the inside! I'd look on Google Earth and see where is easily accessible from the roads. Depending on the season (and local roadworks etc.) you may well only get one location per trip.
 
Spent my childhood walking the area, watch out for Adders in the summer

and

Galmpton

Otherwise the other spot I can suggest is quite challenging ...but worth it -park here and cut through to the SW Coast Path which gives view from above the track and also out onto the viaducts

thanks for this - yes adders seem to get everywhere in summer. SW Coast path for viaducts sounds interesting as the only bit I have done previously was the first hill which looks back onto the beach at Goodrington
