The Vibe:A wild walk on an abandoned railway
The city's 19th-century ring railway fell silent decades ago. In the 15th, a green stretch of the old line has reopened as a wild urban walk.
Rails vanish into grass and wildflowers between old cuttings. Birdsong replaces trains along a corridor the city forgot.
