Knebworth Park and Winter Green Railway
The Knebworth and Winter Green Railway was a 1 ft 11+1⁄2 in (597 mm) narrow gauge railway built in the grounds of Knebworth House in 1972 as a tourist attraction. The railway was built by Pleasurerail Ltd. a company set up to build and operate private tourist railways which included the Great Whipsnade Railway and also the line at Blenheim Palace. In 1971, they started construction on a railway in the grounds of Knebworth House near Stevenage. The initial line was an end-to-end layout running from the house to the adventure playground. In 1980, the track was extended to form a mile-long continuous loop. During its existence, the line hosted a number of steam and diesel locomotives. The line continued to run until 1990 when it was lifted and the remaining stock transferred to other lines
