Babbacombe Cliff Railway
All photographs of this railway in date order.
![Although the cars perhaps look older the Babbacombe Cliff Railway dates from 1926 and the stations and this fine looking bridge are in Art Deco style. A car climbs past the ticket office at Oddicombe Beach station in June 2008. <br><br>[Mark Bartlett 19/06/2008]](/images/19000/19532.jpg "Oddicombe Beach")
![Spectacular view from a car descending to Oddicombe Beach from Babbacombe, on the outskirts of Torquay, as its sister climbs to the cliff top. Although slightly Victorian looking the cars have new bodies dating from 2006 as part of a recent full refurbishment of the line. <br><br>[Mark Bartlett 19/06/2008]](/images/19000/19533.jpg "Babbacombe")
![View from Oddicombe Beach up the hill to Babbacombe cliff top as a car descends towards the station. Using the railway avoids a road climb of 1:3. Further information about the line can be found at www.friendsofbabbacombecliffrailway.org.uk <br><br>[Mark Bartlett 19/06/2008]](/images/19000/19537.jpg "Oddicombe Beach")
![The lower station of the Babbacombe Cliff Railway sits on a sturdy stone buttress and there is a ramp for passengers to access Oddicombe Beach [see image 19532]. Viewed from below the substantial railcars seem tiny. The <I>Friends of Babbacombe Cliff Railway</I> have established an informative visitor centre on the beach which is well worth a visit. <br><br>[Mark Bartlett 28/07/2015]](/images/52000/52291.jpg "Oddicombe Beach")
