Welcome to
the Southwold Railway Trust.

The Southwold Railway opened in 1879 and closed in 1929. It was a 3 foot narrow gauge line that linked Southwold and the sea with Halesworth on the main Great Eastern line 9 miles away. It wound through gentle, but very beautiful countryside following the River Blyth with three intermediate stations at Wenhaston, Blythburgh and Walberswick. The SR Trust is dedicated to preserving the memory of this special little railway and re-opening as much of the old route as we can.

Go to the History page to find out about its past, see Photos of the line today.
Keep up with our plans for the building of a replica of locomotive No. 3 "Blyth" on the 2-4-0 Club pages or visit our S R News page or read our Blog to investigate recent happenings.

Don't forget you can also purchase a fine selection of cards, books and gifts from our Shop.
Members of the Southwold Railway Trust can access the Volunteers page to offer the skills in a variety of ways, so why not Join the Southwold Railway Trust online and help us in our efforts to bring narrow gauge steam back to Suffolk?.
