Lincolnshire Wolds Railway

Discover the excitement and nostalgia of steam travel with a journey back in time on the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway.

The LWR is situated in a beautiful part of the Lincolnshire countryside between the Wolds and the coast, and is only a short distance from Grimsby, the seaside resort of Cleethorpes and the historic market town of Louth.

Our railway operates on a stretch of line that used to be part of the Great Northern route from Boston to Grimsby. After the last section of line was closed by BR in 1980, a preservation society was formed with the aim of restoring it.

Heritage steam trains currently run between Ludborough and North Thoresby and work is now in progress to extend the line southwards towards Louth.
