Summary
Inclined tramway connecting bulkamore mine (crf:sx76sw/15) with south devon railway. The upper, steeper section, ran in a straight line, north north east, from the mine to cuming farm, partly along eastern side of the lane. Its course then altered as it made its way along a ledge cut into the south east side of a small valley ending abruptly some 20 feet above the river dart. It must have then crossed the river and continued across the meadow to the railway siding at sx75606388. A cast iron tramwaggon wheel has been found in the dart and several lengths of rail have been reused in the area as fencing (richardson).
