Very nice indeed. Really lovely volunteers working here. Was lovely to see happy people in there job. Only one miserable bugger but then you always get the one don't you. Also the museum and shop was nice and cosy. Plenty of parking over the road and another small shop here too selling second hand bric a brac. Will definitely be returning. · via Google [Ian Benford](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106319348775925415283/reviews) ★★★★★ Having lived in Lincolnshire for over 30 years I'm ashamed to say that this was my first visit to LWR. What an excellent attraction and ran completely by volunteers (and what friendly & enthusiastic volunteers they are). Their aim is to extend this line to Louth, they've already purchased the track bed but now need funding to lay the track. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and have now joined LWR to show our support. · via Google [Steve Anderson](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/114030047811945505152/reviews) ★★★★★ Only a short run but lovely friendly staff.
