According to Guinness World Records, in which country is the world's shortest funicular railway?

Built in 1935 in the seaside town of Bournemouth in England, the Fisherman’s Walk Cliff Lift is, according to Guinness World Records, the shortest funicular railway in the world.

In the early 1900s, local authorities decided to improve access to the town’s seven-mile stretch of beaches. So, in 1908, they built the first two “cliff lifts,” the West Cliff Lift and the East Cliff Lift, to connect the seaside promenade and the beach with the clifftop and the town above it.

Later, in 1935, a third cliff lift was built, the Fisherman’s Walk Cliff Lift, located in the Southbourne suburb of Bournemouth (and therefore sometimes referred to as the Southbourne Cliff Lift). Like the other two lifts, the Fisherman’s Walk Cliff Lift is a funicular railway that uses cable traction to move cars up and down a steeply inclined slope. But the Fisherman’s Walk lift has one notable distinction: it was listed in the 2015 Guinness Book of Records as the shortest funicular railway in the world, a record it still holds today.
