Welcome to the enchanting world of the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway, where history comes alive amidst the picturesque landscapes of the Lincolnshire Wolds. Our heritage railway, steeped in nostalgia, is a captivating journey into the past, offering a unique and memorable experience for visitors of all ages.
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.

Cheap and cheerful day out. My 11 and 14 year old loved riding on the steam train and with added entertainment for the teddy bears picnic day made a fun... read more filled few hours out. Family train tickets can be used as many times as you want throughout the day and dogs are even allowed on the train too (have quieter carriages for nervous dogs or children). Staff were amazing and did a fab job. Toilets and even a dog friendly cafe available too. Would thoroughly recommend this 🙂

Huge thanks to the train... read more crew, the station team , Steve, Nick, Ian(signalman) and the funny Marc (Freddy Fox) for the songs and dances What a brilliant team of Volunteers you all are Can’t wait to come and do it all again soon.

There was entertainment by one of Santa's elves to get us all in the Christmas mood. There was also a photo opportunity with Santa at the end of the ride. Our two loved being on the train and found it fascinating. Absolutely brilliant, we'll organised and thorough enjoyable. Highly recommended!
