East Herts Miniature Railway, Miniature railway in Great Amwell, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom
The East Herts Miniature Railway operates on a 7¼-inch gauge track within the grounds of Van Hage Garden Centre, offering rides through landscaped gardens.
The railway society formed in 1978 after vandalism at their previous location, starting with a single-circuit track that included a tunnel and station area.
The railway dedicates proceeds to support Amwell View School in Stansted Abbotts, which provides education for students with physical and mental disabilities.
Visitors can ride the trains on Saturdays from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Sundays from 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM, with additional services during school holidays.
The railway infrastructure includes a workshop with covered steaming bays, a turntable, and a color-light signaling system for operational control.
