[4K] Longleat Railway at Longleat Safari Park, join us on this train journey with Picture in Picture passing by the picturesque woodlands of Longleat Park and along the edge of the Half Mile Lake where the Californian Sea Lions and Ugandan Hippos call home
Established in 1965 and later expanded in 1976, this gauge ridable miniature railway stands as one of the country's most bustling. Spanning a length of approximately one and a quarter miles, it weaves through captivating woodland scenery and traces the perimeter of Half Mile Lake.
In its early days, the railway was managed by the external company Minirail until 1976, when Longleat assumed control of the railway's operations.
The railway's rolling stock is equally remarkable, comprising 15 carriages constructed at Longleat between 1976 and 2013. These carriages are adorned with a playful mock British Railways crimson and cream livery.
Jungle Express - 2011 to 2017
Between 2011 and 2017, the railway underwent a thematic transformation, adopting the moniker "Jungle Express." This rebranding extended to both the station and the carriages, elevating the overall experience with immersive theming that added an extra layer of adventure.

Longleat Safari Park opened in 1966 as the first drive-through safari park outside Africa, and is home to over 500 animals, including Rothschild's giraffes, Grant's zebras, Rhesus monkeys, rhinos, African lions, Amur tigers and grey wolves. Cheetahs, koalas and spotted hyenas are among the most recent additions to the safari park.
Longleat House was built in the sixteenth century by Sir John Thynn on the site of a dissolved priory, and in 1949 became the first stately home in Britain to be opened to the public on a commercial basis. The house, park and attractions are open from mid-February to the start of November each year. The 9,800-acre estate, of which the park occupies 900 acres, has long been one of the top British tourist attractions. Longleat leases 400 acres of land to Center Parcs for the operation of the Longleat Forest holiday village.
The Longleat hedge maze is considered the world's longest, with 1.69 miles of pathway. The layout was by maze designer Greg Bright.
