The Bredgar and Wormshill Light Railway (BWLR) is located near the villages of Wormshill and Bredgar in Kent, just south of Sittingbourne. It is a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge railway about three-quarters mile (1.2 km) in length. The BWLR is a private line which has been built up as a hobby by a group of friends since the early 1970s.

Starting in 1975 it was built from scratch by a group of friends and now blends well into the North Kent Downs. Initially a small industrial diesel locomotive was purchased. This was soon joined by others, but it was not until 1979 that ‘Bronhilde’, our first steam engine arrived.

Join us from 10am, we’re running steam engine passenger rides, the engine shed is open exhibiting all our locos, vehicles and engines as well as the large model railway. In the main field we have a good selection of visiting exhibits to commemorate the day, featuring a ceremony to mark the occasion.
