About Scarborough North Bay Railway

Scarborough North Bay Railway is Britain’s biggest miniature railway, delighting young and old since 1931. The 2 mile return journey has beautiful views along the North Bay coastline, also doubling as a transport link connecting Peasholm Park with Scalby Mills.

At Peasholm Station, splash down on the Historic Water Chute and hit the heights on our Skytrail. Take to the lake on our Boats & Balls. Indulge in soft scoop ice cream and delicious hot food including stone baked pizzas from Sidings Snack Shack. Wrap up your visit by grabbing a memento from one of our station gift shops.

Both our stations are wheelchair-friendly with step-free access whilst our trains are also fully accessible.

Open daily from Easter to the end of October, with additional events being held throughout the year, including our ever popular Santa Specials. Keep up-to-date with all our news by checking our website and social media channels.
