For over 20 years, the Britain Express family have toured England, Scotland, and Wales, visiting historic sites, taking thousands of photographs, and sharing our passion for Britain with the world. We love exploring the UK, and hope that whether you're a Brit or a tourist, you'll take every chance to discover British history and landscape for yourself, and enjoy the wonderful heritage that awaits in every corner of this wonderful country. Get inspired - Explore Britain's Heritage!
Most of our family travelling is done via stays in self catering cottages, where we can unwind and tour one area in-depth for a week or even 2 at a time.

Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, England
The Leighton Buzzard Railway was a light-gauge railway built from surplus WWI battlefield supplies. Possibly the only surviving 2-foot gauge railway in the country, the LBR was opened in 1919 to carry sand and only added passenger service in 1968. The museum is home to the largest collection of light-gauge equipment in England. There are regular steam-train journeys of about 3 miles (approximately 1 hour).
