Reviews of The Hay Inclined Plane
S. D.Nothing stood in the way of the industrial revolution. Steep sided gorge? Factories at the top. Product in and out by river at the bottom. No problem. Let's build a railway that carried canal barges up and down. It's steep. Really steep. The incline is a perfect summary of industrial ingenuity in the face of physical adversity.
Visible both from the public footpath and the Blists Hill Museum (paid for access). Best viewed from the museum as you can walk the rails rather than peer over the palisade fence from the public access.
They say the camera adds lbs. It also removes any real perspective of gradient.
K. O.This piece of amazing engineering in in Blists Hill Victorian town museum. It was used to move ships from the river to the canal ( and visa versa. It only went out of favour. When the railway proved to be so efficient.
d. m.Really enjoyed my visit to Blists Hill. This was a definite highlight.
I. b.Yes we had a great day out lots of walking and things going on had a great day out 😂☺️
K. R.Interesting object. Must have looked amazing when it was in operation.
m. p.Great area around here. Plenty of historical interest
A. L.Fantastic bit of engineering. Pity there were no information boards at bottom incline explaining how it worked and when it was last used.
D. B.A long tranquil walk from entrance but well worth it . You can get to it two ways. If you keep to the stream by the steam train it's a nice level walk to top of incline then lots and lots of steps down that then bring you into town and tea room. The Incline is a nostalgic place with a great sense of its past use and engineering involved . If you go to TarTunnel you can see the bottom of incline across road. This is outside town boundary. The rails are still in place and run top to bottom but only the foundations remain of boiler and engine room at top. If you return by going down steps there are is an old mine shaft, working entrance into hill , Chapel and other old restored buildings
M. H.Interesting idea, but not much to actually see besides the old track. No description etc. No person to explain either.
L. J.Feel energetic? Have a climb up here while you are at Blists Hill, great view
J. M.Interesting historical site but not obvious how to access it.
G. W.Love going to The Hay Incline plane ‘ it takes you back to the day!
D. A.Great bit of engineering at the time. Still in one piece.
M. T. (.Lovely to see it still run clear to the river
P. H.Really nice place
M. D.Great place
