Wells & Walsingham Light Railway
Recommended by
Overview
The railway covers the four miles between Wells and the neighbouring village of Walsingham, and is the longest ten-and-a-quarter inch gauge track in the world. The line passes through some very attractive countryside, particularly noted for its wild flowers and butterflies. This is the home of the unique Garratt steam locomotive specially built for this line; two Garratt locos are now in service. A former Great Eastern Railways signal box is used as a tearoom at Wells.

About the area
The North Norfolk Coast is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and probably the finest of its kind in Europe. Here you’ll find a string of quaint villages and small towns – Holkham, Wells-next-the-Sea and Cley next the Sea are 21st-century favourites, while Sheringham and Cromer are classic examples of a good old-fashioned seaside resort where grand Victorian hotels look out to sea.
