In 2015 Storm Desmond destroyed the Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Trail, leaving Low Pearson and Brundholme bridges washed away.
Rawsome Bridge closed due to risk of collapse, with the boardwalk at Greta viaduct undermined. Over 200 metres of the path washed away at Brundholme Bottoms and many of the remaining bridges and path drainage system weakened by the flood waters.
Cubby Construction undertook the full restoration of the 5km Keswick to Threlkeld old railway line path in 2019-2020. Working closely with the Lake District National Park Authority, utilising extensive civil engineering experience to great effect.
