Originally constructed in 1914 as part of the Kettle Valley Railway, these engineering marvels were designed by chief engineer Andrew McCulloch, a Shakespeare enthusiast who named the surrounding stations after the Bard's characters.  Today, the decommissioned railway has been transformed into a scenic walking path, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the area's rich history and natural splendor
