Wells Harbour Railway, Heritage miniature railway in North Norfolk, England.
The Wells Harbour Railway extends for 1,200 yards between Wells Harbour and Pinewoods, offering transportation through the Norfolk coastal landscape.
Roy Francis established the railway in 1976, running two stations named Harbour and Pinewood until a severe storm in 1978 damaged half a mile of track.
The railway system represents Norfolk's transportation heritage, connecting the beach area with the main harbor through regular passenger services.
The railway operates from spring through autumn, with tickets available directly from the guard without advance reservations required.
Multiple locomotives designed by Alan Keef powered the railway, including Densil, Howard, and The Duke, carrying over 80,000 passengers in its first two years.
