  A wonderful railway is well worth a visit. This is a family-friendly place and disable, friendly to. The Railway runs between Ludborough and North Thoresby in Lincolnshire and is extending... read more its tracks South to Pear Tree Lane. The railway has fantastic views of the Lincolnshire Country side, ludborough Station has a mk3 buffet car serving meals....cold/warms snacks... drinks and cakes. The cakes are very delicious to try, and the tea is wonderful.
You can visit the engine shed and see locomotives being refurbished and there is also a museum and gift shop too. There is also a second-hand book shop, Hagglers halt, which is also worthy of a visit. There is a car park by Ludborough Station, but there is no car park at North Thoresby.
Once you buy a ticket you can ride the trains all day long.

The... read more track is dead straight so you can see the train leaving Ludborough. It was a rare Saturday steaming so I took the opportunity to tick this one off as it can be difficult to get here on Sundays by public transport. To be honest there’s not a lot to see but staff and stations were tidy enough and visitors seemed to be have a good time.

  Second visit with family. First visit was steam day and second was teddy bear day. Both visits so lovely and amazing.

Great organisation from all staff and volunteers.... read more So clean and pleasant the train journey.

Good facilities of the shops and cafe. A nice little park and picnic area. Lots of car parking space.

Clearly signposted to find.

A lovely family day for all to enjoy including dogs; so if you have dogs bring them along for the ride.

Amazing value for money to ride the train all day.

Great entertainment on board when there’s event days on. Brilliant atmosphere. Lots of singing and dancing to get everyone on board in good spirits.

Such an enjoyable day; stress free day especially with a young family. We will return for future events.

Thank you to all the volunteers and staff at Lincolnshire wolds railway; you are so friendly, helpful and welcoming.

Keep up the fantastic work!
