The Moors Valley Railway is a super little miniature railway that does a lop of around 1 mile in the Moors Valley Country Park near Ringwood, just on the Hampshire/Dorset border. It’s 7¼ gauge track includes a spiral and several short tunnels. Both these locomotives were built on site in the Railway’s own workshop.
The Perrygrove Railway is a delightful little 15in gauge railway and is near Coleford in the Forest of Dean. It actually runs in someone’s (large) garden for around ¾ mile.
The line is in the form of a tight “S” shape and runs mainly through trees and climbs quite steep gradient. In reality, the two stations are less than 100 metres apart but the journey does actually feel like you’re going from somewhere to somewhere! There ar presently three engines on the line (one being the K1 Garratt from Tasmania and other being a replica of one the Duffield Bank’s Heywoods) with another due very soon.
