Ulfstead

Ulfstead is a small town near Ffarquhar, almost exactly in the centre of Sodor.

The North Western and Mid Sodor Railways both had plans to extend their lines to Ulfstead - the North Western from Ffarquhar and the Mid Sodor by a branch line via Ulfstead Road. The Mid Sodor's project was abandoned due to the cost of building the line through the Cas-ny-Hawin valley.

The town was built as a fortress, but fell into disrepair after the Scots were sacked. The ruins attract archaeologists as it is all of one period.

The nearby Ulfstead Castle is the seat of the Dukes of Sodor, though now the Duke lives on the outskirts of town while the castle is on loan to the Island Record Office at Suddery.

In the CGI series, it is a station on the Ulfstead Branch Line and is the terminus for the Skarloey Railway. McColl Farm is also nearby.

Ulfstead Mine is located here.
