Bought the train driving experience fory husband on his birthday. We both really enjoyed the time we spent there. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff.
Absolutely lovely, as a family we really enjoyed visiting and would definitely recommend it, loved the play equipment and bouncy castle, free parking and the train tickets were reasonable, there was a food truck on site but picnics welcome and plenty of picnic tables.
A little gem of an unexpected find. Very friendly and helpful. There's a little souvenir shop in ticket office. Train ride longer than we expected with superb view down the valley. Had chance to get out at other end before returning, but it was raining too much!! Well worth visiting. We will return, soon.
A beautiful little hidden gem with friendly staff. The play area caters more for those 12 and under was clean and in good condition. The toilets were almost immaculate which is a rare thing for any place with lots of families visiting. The train ride although short has plenty of things to look out for as it winds it way across the Feilds. If you are near it is definitely worth a visit. I went with two teenagers and still managed to spend a good couple of hours there. As for food check the website for the menu and prices as it may not to everyone's taste BUT if you like a good traditional English breakfast you will NOT be disappointed. We will definitely be planning a return visit.
We had not idea that this was here. We visited on a Sunday and was pleasantly surprised that it was free to enter. It’s a little place in a countryside setting with play equipment and park equipment. There was a bouncy castle for kiddies to play on that’s also free! We couldn’t believe it. There’s not enough to do for a full day but was perfect for a couple of hours. There is a little wooden hut that sells ice creams, sandwiches and hot drinks. All reasonably priced. The little steam train was perfect for little ones. It was roughly £3 for adults and £2.50 for children. You only travel about a mile so isn’t a very long ride but they have secured funding to extend the track which will be good. There are gnomes and garden ornaments dotted by the track so plenty of things to look at on the train ride as well as the countryside. Fab little place and definitely will be returning.
A beautiful little railway, worthy of its own book in The Railway Series. I had a fantastic time on a driver experience, running the hard working little engine up and down the line. The staff were all amazing and really took the experience to the next level. Can’t wait to go back! Many thanks for an amazing time!
LOVELY little railway. We are 2 adults, (no kids), and we still enjoyed it! Very good price £3 each, and loads to do that is free....what a fab place to bring children. We came at about 11am on a Monday, and were straight in for the first train. Nice little tea room, plenty of outdoor seating (some undercover). The train carriages are open sided so feel safe and airy. An absolute gem! So glad we visited.....thank you guys for a nice couple of hours, and we loved going past the rare-breed cattle in the pretty valley.
Absolutely brilliant stop off on the way home from Sherwood Pines. Free parking and general admission. Zip wire, bouncy castle, remote control boats, park and under 5s area. The train is so good m, super friendly staff and the attention to detail is so cute. We really enjoyed ourselves, thank you.
Nice little place to bring young kids, only thing that costs money is to ride the train and its not much. Has a play area for under 5s and a bigger area for the older kids, plenty of benches for picnics
