Golden Valley Light Railway - Midland Railway - Butterley
The Narrow Gauge Golden Valley Light Railway and the Butterley Park Miniature Railway both operate most weekends during the summer. This narrow gauge line now operates through our Country Park on the trackbed of the Butterley Works plateway which was built to carry goods to the canal at Ironville. The Golden Valley Terminus overlooks our restored canal basin and the entrance to Butterley Canal Tunnel. You can use this line to explore the Country Park or simply enjoy a trip on this unusual train. Trains run every weekend from April to October. Stock for this project has been collected from a variety of sources including local collieries, brick works, and even some vehicles from as far away as Poland.
