Lynton and Barnstaple Railway
The Lynton & Barnstaple Railway (L&B) opened as an independent railway in May 1898. It was a single track, 1 ft 11+1⁄2 in (597 mm) narrow gauge railway and was slightly over 19 miles (31 km) long running through the rugged and picturesque area bordering Exmoor in North Devon in England. The railway line closed in 1935.
The Lynton & Barnstaple Railway Association was formed in 1979; and a short section was reopened to passengers in 2004. The present track is now 600 mm (1 ft 11+5⁄8 in) narrow gauge. It is the only steam railway in the UK where passengers travel in Victorian railway carriages designed in the 1890s.
