Description

Bredgar Railway - a GREAT day out for all - as well as saving engineering heritage. Bredgar & Wormshill Light Railway is a location supported by over 100 volunteers as well as our many thousands of visitors each year despite being one of the lessor known attractions in Kent.

As our railway developed, complementary attractions were added: traction engines, a steam roller, vintage cars, miniature locos and a model railway. All have historical significance and a unique appeal. The main objective of the railway is the preservation of steam locomotives in a form which enables railway enthusiasts, the general public and children to appreciate how important this type of energy was to industry for over 200 years.

Prices starts from £10.00 for adults and £5.00 for Child(4-16 years old). If you are looking for Best place for day out with kids and families then this is the perfect destination offering fun, adventure, and unforgettable memories for everyone.
