Welcome to the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway
Only a short distance from Grimsby, the seaside resort of Cleethorpes and the historic market town of Louth, Lincolnshire Wolds Railway is a great day out for everyone.
Ride on the train, enjoy some great food in the café and make some new amazing memories as you visit us. Our heritage steam trains run between Ludborough and North Thoresby and work is now in progress to extend the line southwards towards Louth.
We are managed and run entirely by a team of dedicated volunteers, do come and say hello. We are so excited to welcome you to the only standard gauge Heritage Steam Railway in Lincolnshire.
It is very important to us to keep our heritage line running and keeping steam alive, we are living history with a purpose to recreate and preserve railway scenes of the past. We look forward to giving you a warm welcome.
