The Incline is a railway engineering feature located between Brendon Hill and Comberow in Somerset, forming part of the historic mineral railway infrastructure of the Brendon Hills. Dating from the nineteenth century, it represents the technological solutions employed to transport iron ore and other mineral resources from the upland mines to lower ground and onward distribution. The incline worked in conjunction with Combe Row Station, which served as a significant point on this transport network. These remains are characteristic of the industrial archaeology of the Brendon Hills mining district, illustrating the substantial engineering investment required to exploit the region's mineral resources during the Victorian period.
