Railworld, Railway museum and wildlife haven in Peterborough, England.
The Railworld Wildlife Haven combines railway exhibits with natural spaces, featuring model railways, ponds, waterfalls, and landscaped gardens across the grounds.
The museum emerged from a former coal yard in 1985 under the guidance of Reverend Richard Paten, transforming industrial land into an educational center.
The museum maintains Victorian aqueducts and bridges while operating educational programs that connect railway heritage with environmental conservation principles.
Located within 15 minutes walking distance from Peterborough Station, the museum offers family tickets at £10 for two adults and three children.
The facility houses the RTV 31 hover train and contains 2,000 square feet of detailed model railway exhibitions for visitors to explore.
