Culcheth Linear Park
is a park in the district of
Culcheth
,
Warrington
,
UK
. Like the
Black Bear Park
and sections of the
Trans Pennine Trail
, Culcheth Linear Park is built on former railway line (train) tracks. This park lies on a section of the former Wigan to Glazebook railway line. Britain's
LNER
and
Great Central Railway
both assisted in the building of this line which was first opened to goods in 1878 and was later connected to
Wigan
central,
Glazebrook
,
Lowton
, and
Culcheth
. At the outbreak of
World War II
lines were connected to the naval camp at
Culcheth
and the
Royal Ordnance
plant at
Risley
. Following the
Beeching Report
of 1964 the line was closed and in 1974
Warrington Borough Council
converted the land into a new park. Today it is home to many local community projects and a variety of wildlife, there are also some limited facilities for sport.
