Fawley Hill Railway, Private heritage railway in Fawley, England
The railway stretches over one mile through the estate grounds, featuring historic railway buildings, architectural elements, and transport memorabilia from various British locations.
The railway began in 1965 when Sir William McAlpine purchased a Hudswell Clarke steam locomotive and established tracks on his Buckinghamshire estate.
The estate preserves numerous relocated structures, including the Great Eastern Railway Somersham station, Midland Railway signal box, and footbridge from Isle of Wight.
Access to the railway requires advance booking for specific invitation days, typically scheduled during summer months with limited daily visitor capacity.
The track includes a gradient of 1:13, making it the steepest standard gauge railway line in Britain while sharing grounds with deer and wallabies.
