HALESWORTH TO SOUTHWOLD NARROW GAUGE RAILWAY CIO
1879 Blythburgh Station.

Free entry to site, free tea, coffee and cake.

For the first time in public – our demonstration goods train will be ‘hauled by the power of the sun’: the 88-year-old battery-electric locomotive is now charged by solar panels. We believe that this is a UK first.

Re-instated main line track and goods sidings. Narrow gauge goods wagons. Award-winning restored original Goods Shed.
Heritage railway display, refreshments, railway book sale, and films in the Village Hall. Enlarged live steam model railway. Display of found artefacts. See our progress in the unearthing and restoration of this unique and historic 1879 narrow gauge station.

How to find us: the station is on the northern edge of Blythburgh village. It is signposted off the A12. The 99A bus from Halesworth and Southwold stops about 100 yards away. Car parking is in the field next door to the Holy Trinity Church car park (please do not use the church car park). Blue badge disabled parking ONLY in the station yard.
