125 Years of Groudle Glen Railway

25 minutes | Tuesday, 22 June 2021

On 23 May 1896, one of the Island’s most loved, successful and iconic tourist destinations was born. Whilst its history has been far from plain sailing, the Groudle Glen Railway survives to this day. From state-of-the-art late Victorian era hotspot, to nostalgic pass-time painstakingly preserved in aspic, the ‘line that goes uphill to the sea’ recently celebrated its 125th anniversary.
