Ulfstead is a small town near Ffarquhar, almost exactly in the centre of Sodor. The North Western and Mid Sodor railways both had plans to extend their lines to Ulfstead - the North Western from Ffarquhar and the Mid Sodor by a branchline via Ulfstead Road. The Mid Sodor's project was abandoned due to the cost of building the line through the Cas-ny-Hawin valley. The town was built as a fortress, but fell into disrepair after the Scots were sacked. The ruins attract archaeologists as it is all of one period. The nearby Ulfstead Castle is the seat of the Dukes of Sodor.
