The volunteers at Groudle Glen Railway have many plans for the future to enable it to continue to restore
and maintain this unique family attraction and piece of Isle of Man Heritage, but to do so they will need
supporters to leave a lasting legacy to the charity.
Making a Will is your only guarantee that the content of your estate will go to the people and causes that you
care about. Astonishingly, only one in three people make a Will, but without an up to date Will, there is a
risk that your estate will not go where you intend and could even end up going to the Government!
Legacies provide funds for the future and many of our pioneering supporters have chosen to leave, as their
lasting contribution to the Railway, a legacy. If you are in a position to – please join them.
Thank you.

“The Line that goes Uphill to the Sea” This unique line was built in 1896 by Richard Maltby Broadbent as part of the new Groudle Glen pleasure grounds. It ran as a tourist attraction until the early 1960’s when it fell into disrepair, and during the 1970’s the line was scrapped and the rolling stock sold.
The line was saved from total extinction by a band of enthusiastic volunteers in 1982, reopening to passengers in 1986.
Today the line is a registered Manx charity, still run entirely by an enthusiastic group of volunteers that provides a
fun, nostalgic day out for all ages, whilst restoring and maintaining an important piece of Manx railway history for
this generation and many more to follow.
