Support the L&BR Trust

Unlike many preserved heritage railways dating from the 1950s and ’60s, the L&BR was completely dismantled in 1936, its unique locos and carriages cut up for scrap and the trackbed sold off piecemeal to over a hundred different landowners.

By 1938 all that remained were the abandoned trackbed, earthworks and bridges.

Absolutely beautiful place.

From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming and really went out of their way to make our visit feel special.
