Caldecotte Miniature Railway, Miniature railway at Caldecotte Lake, Milton Keynes, England.
Caldecotte Miniature Railway is a rideable miniature railway with multiple gauge tracks measuring 3.5, 5, and 7.25 inches, constructed around an oval circuit with both ground-level and elevated sections. The system allows passengers to experience different train types operating on the same venue.
The Milton Keynes Model Engineering Society established the railway in 2005, beginning with a small demonstration track that later enabled funding for the expanded permanent system including raised sections. This growth from a simple start reflected the community's dedication to the project.
The railway serves as a gathering place where families and enthusiasts experience model trains together, with special events like traction engine rallies and seasonal celebrations throughout the year. These regular occasions have become part of the local community's rhythm.
The railway sits behind the Windmill Pub at Lakeside Grove and works best when you arrive with time to explore the entire circuit and watch the different trains in operation. You will find clear signage directing you to the tracks once you are at the lakeside.
The railway operates specially designed coaches for wheelchair users, making it accessible to people with mobility needs in a way that few miniature railways in the region attempt. This accessibility feature reflects genuine care for inclusive visitor experiences.
