Did you know that having a heritage railway nearby significantly boosts the local economy?

The World awaits the Possible Dream

Run almost entirely by volunteers, we are a "non-profit" organisation owned by its Members with the mission to fully restore as much as we can of the legendary Lynton & Barnstaple Railway.
