Took my Grandson on the steam train to meet Santa’s elves and write a letter to Santa. It was such a lovely little train ride and my grandson really enjoyed every minute of it. The staff and elves made it feel very magical and festive. They often hold different events at Ludborough Station throughout the year, so it’s definitely worth checking their website to see what’s coming up and to find out more information. A lovely experience for families and children ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Just experience the afternoon tea special. 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.

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.
