Longleat Railway

Longleat’s railway is a perfect scaled-down recreation of the Age of Steam. Visitors arrive at a 1950’s style platform, complete with period advertisements and other contemporary props, to board their narrow gauge train.

Longleat RailwayWith everyone safely on board, and once the guard has blown his whistle the journey begins, with the train taking visitors for a fascinating ride through woods and into a tunnel as it heads towards Half Mile Lake.

With its tracks running alongside the water, passengers get a grandstand view both of the lake and its inhabitants including Californian Sea Lions and Eastern White Pelicans.
You might be especially lucky and spot Nico the Lowland Gorilla living on the island in the middle of the lake.
