All aboard the Ferry Meadows Railway! Sit back and enjoy the ride as you pass through meadows while taking in views of Overton and Lynch Lakes.

Ferry Meadows Railway has been here since the park opened to the public in 1978, and over those years there have been quite a few changes, and we hope a few more to come soon. The track is laid to a 10.1/4″ inch gauge, it is a very popular gauge for miniature railways as it gives a stable and comfortable ride to the passengers.
The railway started off with a single steam locomotive called Henry and five or six open coaches, it then doubled in size after the staff built a very large diesel locomotive called Harvester, after a while Harvester was sold (That loco now runs at the Wells and Walsingham Railway in Norfolk)
We now have a pair of trams added to our list of locomotives and rolling stock, they were put into service on the 4 July 2020, and as of 2021 you can now bring prams and small children’s bicycles on with you, we have a truck dedicated for that purpose.
