About GGR

Groudle Glen Railway is affectionately known as “The Line that goes Uphill to the Sea." This unique line was built in 1896 by Richard Maltby Broadbent as part of the new Groudle Glen pleasure grounds. It ran as a tourist attraction until the early 1960’s when it fell into disrepair, and during the 1970’s the line was scrapped and the rolling stock sold. The line was saved from total extinction by a band of enthusiastic volunteers in 1982, reopening to passengers in 1986. Today the line is a registered Manx charity and still run entirely by an enthusiastic group of volunteers that provides a fun, nostalgic day out for all ages, whilst restoring and maintaining an important piece of Manx railway history for this generation and many more to follow.

A Manx Charity

Groudle Glen Railway is still a Manx Registered Charity, operated solely by volunteers.
The railway relies on train fares, fundraising and generous support and donations from grant organisations, businesses and individuals in order to continue to maintain and restore the line and its historic rolling stock.
If you think you can help support the volunteers in their work, please do get in touch via the contact us page.
Thank you.
