The Portreath Branch Line of the Hayle Railway.
Portreath's second tramway, the branch line opened in 1837. It was always steam hauled and terminated in the famous 1:10 incline at Portreath. Coal was hauled up and empty wagons lowered simultaneously by a stationary steam engine at the top. It was always horse drawn to the harbour.
There is no public access at present but it is hoped to open it up as a footpath in the future.
