The last remaining 18" gauge public leisure railway in Britain, the Woodland Railway runs through Bicton's famous botanical gardens. The unusual gauge was chosen following the purchase of two locomotives, rolling stock and track from the internal railway that of the Woolwich Royal Armaments factory. This extensive industrial complex once boast more that 50 miles of 18" gauge track and 16 steam locomotives. These were acquired for Bicton in 1962 following the closure of the armaments line.

The locomotives "Woolwich" and "Carnegie" were sold in the late 1990's and are now to be found at the Waltham Abbey Royal Gunpowder Mills. The Bicton Woodlands Railway now uses steam-outline diesel locomotives supplied by Alan Keef, but still retains the 18" gauge track.

Perhaps the most famous English narrow gauge railway, the Lynton and Barnstaple opened in 1898 connecting the coastal resort of Lynton with the standard gauge line at Barnstaple. It was hoped that a significant tourist trade would make the railway profitable, but despite being taken over and refurbished by the Southern Railway it closed in 1935.

Moves have been afoot for a long time to re-open the line, and since 2004 passengers have been carried at Woody Bay. In 2006 a new, temporary terminus was opened at Killington Lane - a mile towards Parracombe from Woody Bay.

Two restored original stock items - 3rd Class Observation coach 7 and van 23 are also on display at Woody Bay.
