Help Us Lay the Tracks for the Future!
Crowle Peatland Railway is raising £4,000 to purchase a rare opportunity: 600 metres of 35kg/m rail that will enable us to extend our heritage line at some time in the future and bring even more of our unique industrial history to life.
Every donation—large or small—helps us preserve this vital piece of local heritage and grow our railway for generations to come.
You can support the campaign and follow our progress on GoFundMe here.
Thank you!
The railway was formed to preserve the history and heritage of the Humberhead Peatlands, in particular the railways.
Peat has been extracted from the moors since at least medieval times. When large-scale peat extraction started in the 19th century a network of 3ft gauge horse-drawn railways was established. It was not until the 1950s/60s that locomotives started to take over from horses.
We have open days throughout the year from Easter with special openings at Halloween and Christmas.
Watch out for updates about our events on our website and Facebook page.
