Haigh Hall Miniature Railway, Rideable miniature railway in Haigh Country Park, England.

The railway operates on a fifteen-inch gauge track that extends for one mile through the woodland areas of Haigh Country Park.

The miniature railway initiated operations in July 1986 and underwent significant renovations before reopening with new operators in April 2014.

The railway introduces visitors to transportation heritage through its collection of locomotives, including Helen built by Alan Keef and Rachel from Fairbourne Railway.

Passengers can board trains at two main stations, Haigh Hall South and Haigh Hall North, during weekends and school holidays from 11 am to 4 pm.

The railway maintains a three-road engine shed at Haigh Hall South station, where maintenance work on the locomotives takes place.
