Welcome to Alnwick's Award Winning Heritage Transport Attraction!

The Aln Valley Railway project is an ambitious plan reopening the branch line from Alnmouth to Alnwick, the old county town of Northumberland and the ancestral home of the Duke of Northumberland.

Although the impressive railway station still exists in Alnwick, a road bypass and other commercial developments no longer make it viable to recreate in full the original run of around 3 miles between the two stations. As a result a brand new railway station and visitor center has been constructed by volunteers on the outskirts of Alnwick from where the railway follows the original trackbed towards Alnmouth Station. A cycleway / footpath is planned alongside providing a safe traffic-free corridor between Alnwick and the National Cycle Network and the coast. Work is now in hand to extend the line to Edenhill Bridge where there will be a new halt.

The Aln Valley Railway Trust is a registered charity number 1063332.
