Heatherslaw Light Railway, Heritage railway in Northumberland, England.
The Heatherslaw Light Railway operates on a fifteen-inch gauge track connecting Heatherslaw Station to Etal Castle through the countryside along the River Till.
Established in 1989 by Neville Smith and Sid Ford, the railway stands as the most northern steam railway in England on the Ford and Etal estate.
The railway maintains traditional steam locomotive operations, including the Lady Augusta engine built by Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway and Bunty constructed by Alan Keef.
Trains depart hourly from March to October, with the first service at 11:00 AM, and the complete round trip of 6.4 kilometers takes approximately 50 minutes.
Each train can transport up to 90 passengers in eight coaches, with designated spaces for wheelchairs and baby carriages throughout the seasonal service.
