A very popular 15 inch railway running between Aylsham and Wroxham, a distance of about 18 miles. Along the way, the route passes through the beautiful valley of the River Bure, through pasture, meadowland, and picturesque villages. The railway uses both steam and diesel engines, and operates numerous special days, such as Santa specials, and the Teddy Bear Express service in February.
