Stapleford Miniature Railway is a historic steam locomotive-hauled 10.25in gauge railway at Stapleford Park, Stapleford, near Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire, England. The ridable miniature railway began life in 1958 as a short line to carry visitors from the car park, to Lord Gretton's stately home. Due to its popularity, the railway was quickly expanded, running down to and then eventually around the lake in the landscaped parkland. Considered as one of the finest examples, the railway attracts thousands of visitors from the UK and abroad.
