Bure Valley Railway, Heritage railway in Hoveton, England
The Bure Valley Railway operates steam trains on a 9-mile track between Aylsham and Wroxham, following the path of River Bure through Norfolk countryside.
The railway line started as East Norfolk Railway in 1877, ceased passenger operations in 1952, and reopened as a heritage attraction in 1990 after a £2.5 million renovation.
The Friends of Bure Valley Railway organization maintains local railway traditions through volunteer work, fundraising activities, and community engagement programs throughout the year.
The railway provides wheelchair-accessible coaches, free parking at both stations, and an 80-seat café at Aylsham Station serving meals and refreshments.
This 15-inch minimum gauge railway conducts experimental trials with alternative bio-coal fuels to maintain steam locomotive operations in an environmentally conscious manner.
