Lyton and Lynmouth, on the North Devon coast, are connected by a cliff railway. Two "trains" (more like chair-lift carriages), a big bit of chain, and a water tank in each one. Put water in the top one, it gets heavier, goes down, the other one comes up. Link it to those magical cisterns. You can even use salty water if you like.
