Added a few photos to show the route through an industrial park, there are path diversion signs but it is all straightforward. The path is in the back corner of an area where cars can be parked in the eye line.

This unique line was built in 1905 for the transportation of the raw materials required for the manufacture of paper and, of course, the finished product. The line which is built to a gauge of 2′ 6″, continues to use the steam engines and rolling stock that were supplied to operate the railway in its working life prior to preservation in 1969. Was not running in November as it was out of season. https://www.sklr.net/

Good spot for a picnic with a few benches around the park. Nice flat paths suitable for a hybrid bike, probably okay for a road bike or you could walk a short way to find a quiet spot for a break.
