Railworld Wildlife Haven

Back to Activities

Railworld Wildlife Haven is a registered charity supported by passionate volunteers. They have created a habitat for nature in a former derelict coal yard in the heart of Peterborough, with over 2000 sq ft of model railways, and walking paths through the lovely environment.

This activity is good for wellbeing because

  • The project makes everyone feel good for contributing
  • It brings people together to work as a team
  • It gets you outside in nature

Meet Brian, as he tells us about Railworld Wildlife Haven and the mood-boosting benefits of visiting:

What to expect

Set in a beautiful, reclaimed natural space at the heart of Peterborough, with indoor and outdoor model railways to entertain kids and kids at heart, this is a gem of a day out for all ages.

There are walking paths and seating areas, including a couple of areas with picnic tables and benches.

There are toilets on site.
