Bredgar Railway - a GREAT day out for all - as well as saving engineering heritage

Bredgar & Wormshill Light Railway is a location supported by over 100 volunteers as well as our many thousands of visitors each year.  All income is dedicated to improving the experience of our visitors and saving engineering of all types at risk of being lost.  It makes no profit.

We have some great events before the end of the year.   Details are on our Events page

What we do

At Bredgar we have restored many long since abandoned industrial vehicles and machines to their former glory, some are better than original and now benefit from a new lease of life.
