Here we see a path leading up to an old railway line, now a tarmacked
cycle/walking/horse path. Note the 33kV power line. ... One of
those poles is labelled "Castlebridge No.2 33kV feeder", which I
can't find any information about. Is there a detailed map of these
things anywhere?

I don't know about a map, but googling for Castlebridge 33kW shows a spreadsheet at

Damn, I think I included the word "feeder" and got nowhere.

I've driven past the entrance to that (in fact also today, on the way to the walk I mentioned above), it's had the land on sale for years. And that is indeed approximately where the line stops.

That power line doesn't look big enough to take power from a power station though, perhaps to feed the business park? How much power goes along those lines? I know it's 33kV 3 phase, but I don't know what the current is. All I can say is the underground part went through an approximately 3 inch diameter armoured cable, and the individual conductors look about half an inch thick (judging by a pigeon sat on one! I didn't let my parrot fly up to have a look incase it was live! Yes I was actually taking my parrot for a walk - on my shoulder, with a lead, amusing everyone else out walking!)

Whoops! Everyone trying to cash in on the renewable nonsense.
