Set in the ancient woodlands in North Essex, near Saffron Walden, Audley End Enchanted Railway offers a magical day out for families. Visitors can enjoy a full calendar of activities includes Woodland Adventure Days, Train & Play days as well as our ever-popular Special Events.
Created by Lord Braybrooke, who had a lifelong passion for steam trains, the railway was officially opened to the public in 1964 with the help of racing legend Sir Stirling Moss.
Now run by Lord Braybrooke’s daughter Amanda Murray, the attraction is one of the most popular family days out in Essex.
There have been many changes over the last 60 years, from initially offering picnics under the trees and spotting teddy bears in the woods from the train, to today’s jam-packed calendar of seasonal events, complete with resident fairies and elves - to entertain children of all ages.
