Between Aberporth and Tresaith the Ceredigion Coastal Path has, for the majority of its length, been upgraded as a path accessible to all. Fantastic views across Cardigan Bay are now available to us all.

Amid the great scenery there are a series of Edwardian railway carriages which have been converted to holiday homes.

I read your piece on this the other day Roger and it was fascinating. Although much modified there’s some interesting survivors incorporated into these homes.

A fascinating article. Similarly I’m intrigued by the carriage conversions at Dungeness and I imagine there are still dozens of old carriages dotted around our coastline.

Yes, it is finding them all! I just tripped over these, seeing the first was a surprise and then the numbers kept growing and many now in really good condition too!

There's a nice one at Calstock if you're ever down that way. Walk along the riverside downstream toward Danescombe and Cotehele.

It can be seen on googlemaps stereetview opposite Calstock Boatyard.

Thank you.

A bit of research suggests it was an 1886 six-wheel, five-compartment Third. Later converted to a four-wheeler and used on workmen's trains from 1931.
