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 despite being one of the lessor known attractions in Kent.  All income is dedicated to improving the experience of our visitors, saving engineering of all types at risk of being lost and introducing young people to the joys of engineering.   We make no profit.

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.
