Happening In Charnwood

QUORN AND WOODHOUSE station is of the typical Great Central main line country type and was partly modernised during the 1940s. At this time the goods yard was greatly extended to accommodate war traffic for the nearby army camp and prisoner of war camp. Today the yard is used for special events, rallies and to demonstrate the exchange apparatus for use with. the travelling post office train. The Permanent Way Depot is based here and you may see an interesting selection of equipment. A picnic site is situated adjacent to the station. Close to the station is the Whatoff Lodge farm park and trail. The line from Quorn to Rothley gives panoramic views of' Budden Wood to the east, and the Charnwood Forest area to the west.
