Britain's miniature railway grand tour

Twelve scaled railways from Romney Marsh to the Scottish Highlands.

Britain has more miniature railways than anywhere else in the world — 7¼ in, 10¼ in and 15 in gauges crossing seaside resorts, country estates and woodland parks. The Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch (the world's smallest public railway) and the Ravenglass & Eskdale (in the Lake District) are the giants, but dozens of smaller lines run every summer in parks across the country. This grand tour picks twelve worth a special trip.
