📌 Heritage railway in Alford, Aberdeenshire
★★
🛠️ Railway closed since 2017 – repairs are ongoing with reopening scheduled for 2024 (checked April 2024)
A short narrow gauge railway provides one of the more unusual ways to travel between Alford village and Haughton Country Park. There are good views over the local golf course and beyond across the flat, fertile Howe of Alford from the mile or so of track; check the timetable so you can return on a later train after exploring the park.
