The Railworld Wildlife Haven is a much-loved visitor attraction and community asset in Peterborough.
Run by volunteers, the project aims to ‘entertain and educate about our amazing w
orld’.

The ‘Railworld Wildlife Haven’ started when Rev Richard Paten bought the derelict power station coal yard and set up a registered charity.
Volunteers, with the help of many companies, groups and individuals, have transformed the derelict coal yard into an inner-city green space, a landscaped haven with ponds and waterfalls, creating increased biodiversity and habitat for our wildlife and have restored and repurposed Victorian aqueducts and bridges.

For over 30 years  volunteers have also created the ‘Globe Hall Earth Centre’ with a solar powered ‘world’ p
lus over 2,000 sqft of intriguing and exciting model railways!

​Railworld Wildlife Haven is located right next door to the Nene Valley Railway’s City Station.
