Norfolk Hero at Walsingham Station
The Wells and Walsingham Light Railway, Norfolk.
The Wells and Walsingham Light Railway is a 10 1⁄4 in (260 mm) gauge heritage railway running between the coastal town of Wells and Walsingham which is further inland. The railway occupies a part of the trackbed of the Wymondham to Wells branch line.
The line, which is 4 miles (6.44 km) long, once formed part of the Great Eastern Railway and is now the longest 10 1⁄4 in (260 mm) gauge railway in the world. It runs from the coastal town of Wells-next-the-Sea to the pilgrimage centre at Walsingham. It is the northern section of the former Wymondham, Dereham, Fakenham and Wells-next-the-Sea line which was closed to passengers in stages from 1964 to 1969 as part of the Beeching cuts.
