Wells and Walsingham Light Railway
Wells and Walsingham Light Railway, Heritage railway in North Norfolk, England.
The Wells and Walsingham Light Railway spans four miles through the Norfolk countryside, connecting Wells-next-the-Sea with the village of Walsingham.
The railway line, established in 1857 by the Wells and Fakenham Railway, operated passenger services until 1964 when the Beeching cuts led to its closure.
Engineers and railway enthusiasts maintain the locomotives and tracks, preserving traditional railway operation methods for future generations to experience.
The railway operates daily from March to November, with trains departing from both Wells and Walsingham stations without requiring advance reservations.
At 10¼ inches gauge, this railway holds the record for the longest railway of its size in the world, featuring custom-built Garratt steam locomotives.
