As well as two sets of ruins and the statue of Cardinal Wolsey, Leicester's Abbey Park contains a miniature railway.According to the page of the Leicester Society of Model Engineers, whose headquarters by the railway occupy a more impressive building than you find on most country stations, the line has a ground level railway in Abbey Park catering for 7 ¼” and 5” gauges and a raised track catering for 5”, 3 1/2”, 2 ½” and 1¼" gauges.
The railway at Coate Water, Swindon, is also 5" gauge.
Note that the Abbey Park line recognises the importance of tea to English leisure activities.

There is another place like this in New Malden as well for those looking for excitement in South West London.
