The Wotton Light Railway is a private 15 in (381 mm) gauge light railway located near Wotton Underwood in Buckinghamshire. It is the hobby of High Court judge Sir Jeremy Sullivan.[1] Although the line is privately owned and operated, it may be viewed at strategic points where it crosses public footpaths,[2] and by invitation on occasional operating days.
