Orbiston Wasteland

A walk at Bellshill train station.

There used to be a branch line from Bellshill to the Bellshill Colliery Pit No 3. Well guess where we went for our walk when visiting the station?!

A run around and exploring old overgrown industrial wasteland is always a favourite of ours. This isn't too large but it did fine for a lunchtime walk in early March.

There's definitely an overgrown bing here and a long forgotten football pitch shows a past attempt at proper community use of the space.

The fence across the stairs at the far end suggests that use is discouraged now and the paths do feel like just dog walker loops. Fine by us!
