About Stansted Park Light Railway

The Stansted Park Light Railway is a 7 1/4" gauge miniature railway is situated opposite to the Garden Centre located in the grounds of Stansted House, Rowlands Castle in Hampshire PO9 6DX

The railway will take you on a lovely circuit that will provide enjoyment for all ages. It starts from the main platform, goes up and around the old Arboretum with trees over 200 years old, past the lovely bamboo area, back through the station, past the turntable, 6 road engine shed and workshop, then over a 12 foot span girder bridge around the forest and back into the station.

The railway is run entirely by our friendly volunteers. We have 3 petrol engines, Theo, Ted & Grafter along with Nazomi a hybrid (electric/petrol) locomotive.
