Railworld Peterborough

Discover this place

A volunteer-created attraction combining railway heritage, model railways and an urban wildlife haven beside the River Nene.

Set close to the railway and river, Railworld tells transport stories alongside an ambitious wildlife project created by volunteers. Railway exhibits and models sit within a site where planting, ponds and habitats have been developed to support nature. This combination makes it an unusual stop for families, rail enthusiasts and anyone interested in how a small urban space can be reclaimed. Its location also connects the story of the railway to the River Nene and Peterborough’s industrial and environmental history.
