Withyham Station served the Three Bridges to Tunbridge Wells Central Line which was closed in the Beeching Cuts in 1967. Funnily enough, Richard Beeching was resident nearby and is said to have frequently used the service.

The line and platform has since been converted into a cycle and footpath. The station house is now a private residence and if you look up, you can see its station sign attached to the wall.

Forest Way Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Gorgeous in summer, a firm path (not paved so muddy after rain) covered in trees that follows the path of an old railway line and now exclusively for bikes, hikers and horses. Great with children and virtually flat

Just another little part of history. Just imagine the old steam trains going through.
