Dean Forest Railway

The Dean Forest Railway is a 4.25 mile long heritage railway, that runs between Lydney and Parkend, located in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. The society that operates the line, started steam locomotive operations in 1971, and purchased the trackbed and line from British Rail in 1985.
