Narrow gauge diesel Trumpton-esque railway trip in the fabulous Lowther hills on the site of the original Caladonian railway that served the small town that Leadhills was in those days, bringing supplies, carrying people and taking away lead.

The railway runs from Leadhills to Wanclockhead (the highest village in Scotland) and is run by volunteers. It is open from Easter to the end of Sept at weekends only. Please check the website before visiting to ensure that the train is operating. It's a lovely wee train ride, my children love it. And you can then visit the Lead mining museum in Wanlcokhead.

This narrow gauge railway operates between Scotland's highest villages, Leadhills and Wanlockhead. The railway has been built on the track-bed of the erstwhile Caledonian Railway branch line which ran from Elvanfoot to Wanlockhead and was opened in 1901 and closed in 1938. Explore the lead mining museum at Wanlockhead and marvel at the skills of the lead miners who dug their shafts to below sea level and excavated miles of tunnels in their search for lead ore and silver.

Welcome to Leadhills and Wanlockhead Railway Heritage Railway Association - Award Winners 2016 Leadhills is the home for Britain's highest narrow gauge adhesion railway, reaching 1,498 feet above sea level. Operated and managed by a team of dedicated enthusiasts, all of whom are volunteers, the railway welcomes visitors every weekend during the summer months. We also run special events outwith these times and hope that families enjoy our Easter, Halloween, Santa and Steam Weekends. On Saturdays and Sundays, the trains run frequently, with journey time taking 25 minutes. The journey takes you from the station at Leadhills to the terminus at Glengonnar halt before returning back to the station. The train runs past the disused Glengonnar Mine, where minerals were first excavated in the 1450's. The narrow gauge track has been built on the original track bed of the Caledonian Railway and today runs a variety of historic industrial diesel locomotives. Visitors are invited to explore the signal box and railway shed, view the trains and wander around our small shop and museum.
