​WELCOME!
The Only Steam Working Public 9 1/2 inch gauge railway in the UK!
Currently the only public, steam working 9 1/2 inch gauge railway in the UK, Lakeshore Railroad was first opened in 1972 and is still going strong to this day! Running for just under a third of a mile round the boating lake, the tracks meander through the trees and over the level crossings before arriving back at the station.
A café' can also be enjoyed on site with what is quoted as "the best view seen from a café'" due to the large open viewing of the train running by.
Open in excess of 200 days a year, do come and have a trip whether your young or just young at heart!
Do enjoy our website, more in depth detail can be found in the enthusiasts section but don't worry, if you can't find something that you want to know, do ask, we don't bite!

The First Signs Of Spring
After what has seemed like a never ending wet and windy winter, we're finally starting to see the first signs of spring. It'll not be long before the bluebells in Tadpole Cutting are in full bloom again; much like the scene below from last year.
​
Even though you'll have to be patient a little longer for the warmer weather to fully return, you don't have to wait at all for your next trip around the boating lake. From Saturday 22nd February until Sunday 2nd March, we are back to running a daily steam service for the duration of the February Half Term. After which, we will be back to operating on weekends only (weather providing as always) until the Easter Holidays in April.
