The Leighton Buzzard Railway is a heritage narrow-gauge railway located in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, within easy reach of Aylesbury and Buckinghamshire. Originally built in 1919 to transport sand from local quarries, the railway is now operated as a volunteer-run heritage attraction. It is one of England’s longest and oldest narrow-gauge railways, with a line of around three miles and a large collection of historic locomotives and rolling stock.

Information available on the railway’s website indicates that visitors can take passenger train rides along the preserved line, typically running between Page’s Park and Stonehenge Works, with journeys lasting around 80–90 minutes. The railway operates regular services during the main season along with special events such as themed days and seasonal experiences, and also includes facilities such as workshops, displays, and refreshment areas. It functions as both a visitor attraction and a heritage preservation project supported by volunteers.
