The Fenland Light Railway is a 12.8 km long heritage railway in Cambridgeshire, England, that runs between the city of Cambridge and the town of Wansford. The railway features a collection of vintage steam and diesel locomotives, offering a nostalgic journey through the picturesque Cambridgeshire countryside. The railway passes through the villages of Horseheath and Teversham, offering scenic views of the surrounding farmland and woodland. On board, passengers can enjoy comfortable seating and large windows that provide unobstructed views of the passing scenery. The railway also offers special events and themed trains throughout the year, such as Santa Specials and Summer Steam Days.
This place is a hidden gem run by the amazing volunteers. During lockdown it was our safe place to visit. Tickets have to be bought in advance and these are limited which means it's not crowded when you go. Your session is 2 hours which is plenty of time to have lots of rides. Each family has a pod or table in a covered area so you have your own space. The PS10 booking fee is then exchanged for train tickets on arrival. You can choose a drink and /or cake voucher too. The cakes are all homemade and really tasty! Sometimes there is a theme. Halloween and Christmas is extra special. The light railway train ride is fabulous. Our little one loves every second we're there. The volunteers make your time there very special. We love this place and would highly recommend.
Brilliant place! Kids loved it so did the adults a big from us. PS1 each for train rides, cake and drinks everything PS1 Nice seating booths where you can see the train go round whilst being sheltered. Very friendly people working / volunteering there. We'll definitely be back. Thank you for a lovely afternoon
Great little place. It is small and you can be done in half an hour but for the price it's still brilliant. My 2 Yr old loved it and everyone there was really nice and friendly. Will be going back for sure.
Great couple of hrs spent here. Never knew it existed. All volunteer run with hut with train tickets PS1 each totally worth it. Cake and refreshments. Brilliant
Absolute gem of a place. We have been coming for 4 years since our son was 4 and he had his 8th birthday there last year. We go with friends and it's such a special place as our boys have some independence and freedom and us adults can enjoy a catch up as we can see them without being with them at all times. The volunteers work so hard and are so lovely. We feel so privileged that we have been able to enjoy Fenland light railway as such a major part of our son's childhood and his memories, Christmas, Easter, Halloween and 2 parties as well as numerous running days. It's both his and our favourite place to visit.
We booked the morning slot wasn't too busy at all, friendly staff, yummy homemade cakes sold for a very reasonable price, loved the train ride and brought additional tickets so could have a few more goes. 2 hours is more than enough time, would definitely return again.
