Dean Forest Railway 2021

The Dean Forest Railway is a 4 1⁄4-mile (6.8 km) long heritage railway that runs between Lydney and Parkend in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire.

The route was part of the former Severn and Wye Joint Railway (GWR & LMS) which ran from Lydney to Cinderford.

The society that operates the line started steam locomotive operations in 1971, and bought the trackbed and line from British Rail in 1986.

Reaching Both Lydney Junction and Parkend railway stations by 1995 and 2005 respectively.

The Dean Forest Railway plans to extend its heritage services a further 2 1⁄2 miles (4.0 km) through/into the middle of the Royal Forest at Speech House Road (close to the nearby Beechenhurst Visitor Attraction), bringing the line to a total of about 6 3⁄4 miles (10.9 km) in length.
