Liss Riverside Railway Walk, Liss Forest, Hampshire

The Liss Riverside Railway Walk uses the track-bed of the Liss Military Railway which closed in 1971. The link to Liss Station of the Liss Military Railway was completed in 1933. When in full operation there was a half-hourly service and as many as 3,650 passengers were carried each day. In 1944 extensive sidings were built and used to store locomotives and rolling stock. After D-day, when the allied bridgehead in France was completed, these were delivered to France via Liss and Portsmouth.
