Barton House Railway, Miniature railway museum in Wroxham, England.
Barton House Railway is a miniature railway museum with two separate track gauges in Norfolk. The site sits alongside the River Bure and provides short train journeys through a riverside setting.
The site was established to preserve traditional railway experience and demonstrates the evolution of miniature railway engineering. The collection contains items from the historical Midland and Great Northern railway lines.
The working signal box demonstrates how trains were historically controlled by staff. Visitors observe the methods used to manage railway operations in previous generations.
The best time to visit is during the warmer months from April to October when regular train rides operate. Additional sessions run on Easter and selected dates, so checking the schedule before your visit helps plan your trip.
Visitors receive traditional railway tickets as they would have in past times and can enjoy homemade refreshments in a garden beside the river. This blend of authentic details with a relaxed riverside setting creates a memorable experience.
