Bredgar & Wormshill Light Railway

It’s that one time of year we see an incredible spread of wild Bluebells through the woodland and alongside the track.

Enjoy unlimited rides on the passenger steam trains from Warren Wood station through to Stony Shaw and back again. The Engine Shed will be open displaying the collection of vintage tractors, locos, engines and cars as well as the hugely popular, extensive model railway. The main field showcases the resident American 105ft Aerial Ladder Fire truck (scale the ladder if you dare!) as well as tractor and trailer rides.

With plenty on for the kids including a treasure hunt, activity area and garden games it’s a great day out for all the family.

Open 10am-4pm (first train from 11am), make sure you book online for the best ticket price.

Online tickets can be bought up to the day before. Tickets are also available on the gate at the standard price.

On Easter Sunday 20^th April 2025 we held a fundraising cycle ride from the railway in aid of the restoration and erection of a listed Victorian Railway Footbridge originally located at Garforth Station near Leeds.

There were two road routes and one-off road route, 50km or 100km in length, starting and ending back at BWLR for tea and cake.

We saw an amazing turn out of 100 riders and their efforts raised a whopping £1000 towards this exciting project! It’s a fantastic leaping forward enabling us to get cracking so a huge THANK YOU – to Andy and Laura who manage the Tea room here at BWLR for such a great job organising and to everyone who cycled and supported, your efforts are so appreciated!
