Bournemouth West Cliff Lift
The West Cliff Lift, or West Cliff Railway, links the seaside promenade and beach with the cliff top and the town behind.

Opened in 1908 by Bournemouth Corporation, it is electrically operated from the start, with winding gear situated at the upper station. The West Cliff Lift is one of three such cliff lifts in Bournemouth, the other two being the East Cliff Lift and the Fisherman's Walk Cliff Lift. All three operate between April and October (LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link ) The Heritage Trail).
