Bure Valley Railway 15 inch
The Bure Valley Railway opened in 1990 and runs over a nine mile section of former Great Eastern track bed between the ancient market town of Aylsham and the "Capital of the Norfolk Broads ", Wroxham. We start our journey at Aylsham, headquarters of the line which includes the locomotive workshops, large restaurant and souvenir/model shop, all with full wheelchair access. After passing through the idyllic Norfolk villages of Buxton, Brampton, and Coltishall we arrive at Wroxham. Originally operated by loco’s hired from other railways such as the Romney Hythe & Dymchurch and Bressingham. The Bure Valley Railway now boasts five steam locomotives and three diesels, purpose built or adapted for the many gradients on the line.
