Eaton Park Miniature Railway in Norwich

Last Friday we visited the wonderful Eaton Park in Norwich. After we'd played the superb Crazy Golf course we went for a look at the Miniature Railway. It looked like a brilliant layout.

Eaton Park's Miniature Railway comprises two tracks - an elevated track and a longer ground level track.

Subject to weather conditions the miniature trains operate every Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday between 1 and 5pm (April to October).

Hopefully next time we visit Eaton Park we'll be there on a day the miniature railway is open.
