GROUDLE GLEN RAILWAY
Imagine walking through a magnificent leafy glen across rustic wooden bridges whilst the river beside you storms its natural path down to the mighty Irish Sea. In the background the whistle of a quaint 1896 steam engine sounds.
The Groudle Glen Railway still uses the original 2 foot gauge engine "Sea Lion" to carry its passengers along the 3/4 mile line which bursts out from the picturesque glen to the spectacular Groudle clifftops before reaching journey's end at the former polar bear and sea lion enclosures.
1996 saw centenary celebrations for this fine little railway which can be enjoyed on Sundays throughout the summer and also Wednesday and some Tuesday evenings in July and August. Operated by a group of volunteers Groudle Glen demonstrates what hard work and enthusiasm can achieve.
