The Gotham Curve was once the sharpest curve on any standard gauge railway line in the UK.[1][2][3][4] The curve, which was situated in the sparsely populated, exposed limestone uplands in the Peak District of Derbyshire, England, was on the Cromford and High Peak Railway.[5] The single-track main line was inherited by British Railways in 1948. It closed in 1967.
