This extraordinary piece of Victorian engineering involves two cars with tiny balconies, that are linked by a steel cable, descending and ascending the steeply sloping cliff face according to the weight of water in the cars’ tanks. All burnished wood and polished brass, it’s been running since 1890 and makes for an unmissable ride.
As the railway is deemed public transport, restrictions may require you to wear a face covering. The railway has some available to buy for a small fee.
