Fancott Miniature Railway, Miniature railway in Fancott, United Kingdom.
The Fancott Miniature Railway operates on a 7¼ inch gauge track laid in an oval pattern with a triangular junction connecting to the station.
Established in 1975, this railway holds the distinction of being the oldest miniature railway situated within the grounds of a public house in the United Kingdom.
The railway functions as a central gathering point for the local community, managed by dedicated volunteers who maintain the locomotives and organize special events.
