"Let's Take a Walk!" on the Royston to Cumberland Railway Trail

Fourteen walkers headed out today to walk the Royston to Cumberland Railway Trail. This trail was originally the Wellington Colliery Railway, which, from 1888 to the 1950s, was used to move coal from Cumberland via Royston to Union Bay. After the tracks were removed it became the Van West Road for logging operations between Cumberland and Royston. In 2014, the Comox Valley Regional District purchased it for the building of the present-day trail. The trail is also a great spot for walking dogs off-leash. No motorized vehicles are allowed on it. We walked about 5 kilometers of it and afterwards enjoyed a coffee at the Royston Roasting Co & Coffee House.
