Yorkshire Wolds Railway — Attraction in Fimber

If you're in the area, take an hour out and visit this amazing little Heritage Railway.

The volunteers were very friendly and welcoming, and the little museum has some interesting local history.

Thank you so much for a memorable...

Ride lasts about 15 to 20 minutes as they take you on an out and back journey twice in a tiny guards van. Would highly reccomend. Pretty much runs on demand with no timetable so there's no rush to miss the...
