Take a ride through history

A must-ride attraction, the Derwent Valley Light Railway (DVLR) spans half a mile within our grounds here at Murton Park.

Run (or should we say fuelled?) by passionate volunteers, this visitor attraction is open every weekend from February half term until our Christmas Event. With passenger trains running on most Sundays during this period as well as every day during Bank Holiday weekends (passenger train schedules are subject to safety regulations and weather conditions).

If you are solely visiting Murton Park to ride on our heritage railway then please call before travel to ensure that the train is operating on that day (for the latest updates, follow us @murtonpark).
