engine from the paddle steamer Caledonia. Railways There are two railways: narrow gauge and miniature. A third standard gauge line formerly operated but is now abandoned; further detail below. Woodland Gardens John Clarke Hawkshaw planted over a million trees on the Hollycombe estate from the 1880s, so it is a Victorian garden in origin. Planting continued into the 20th century and then, after a long pause before and after the war years, Clarke's son Oliver planted the Azalea Walk in the mid-1920s, with the new Mollis hybrids from Knaphill. Baldock continued to manage and develop the gardens from the 1950s. Miniature railway The miniature railway at Hollycombe is gauge. It starts at the station by the saw mill and climbs past crossing gates and through a cutting. It reaches the top and bends to the left. The fairground is then on the left and the woodland gardens is on the right. It then heads into another cutting before a 360-degree loop onto an embankment. It runs parallel with a five-inch gauge line into the two-platform station. Steam engines The collection has over 30 different steam engines of various types.
