Bredgar & Wormshill Light Railway
The Bredgar & Wormshill Light Railway is tucked away in the heart of the Kent countryside, England, in a richly wooded area of the North Kent Downs, near the village of Bredgar. It came into being in the early 1970's as a hobby and has since developed into to a fully operational narrow gauge railway of 2 foot gauge. The railway is privately owned and run by a small group of friends.
