Great trip to foxfield railway. Really interesting and they have a lot of great trains to see in the museum. The train was very slow and only went about 1 mile which was a bit of a disappointment, but the line is the line I suppose.
Visited on 13th August 2025 for the first time since I was a child, so was nice to return. Was nice to see the owls on display, as well as the locomotives etc in the museum. Was a lovely train ride up to Dilhorne and back as well. Certainly brought back memories for me. Will definitely be back. Check out my Youtube series on my channel - @karlsmith25.
A maintenance yard and museum for old steam engines with a small bar serving a small selection of real ales at great prices. Staff were friendly and polite. Something really different and worth a visit. Enjoyed my visit.
Great little railway with a station pub, a gift shop and static display of locomotives showcasing the history of the railway and local area, also a good range of rolling stock. Really enjoyed the ride up the line with a mixage of diesel and steam trains running. Really would recommend visiting when there’s an event on such as May and the Wheels of War weekend, What a great day out!
Went here for the North Pole express. We had a great time. The staff were all really friendly. A great experience for us and the kids. A small bag of treats on the train including port and mince pies for us and juice and cookies for the kids made the journey even better. The kids loved their gifts from Santa too; a well thought out gift for our kids ages. The elves on board made it fun, having a sing along and even a bit of magic which was great. All in all a really great experience and highly recommend it. We also had a drink in the bar after, mulled wine and a great selection of beers finished off with some tasty hot meat baps and pigs in blankets.
Fantastic Christmas experience for the kids. Great train ride and brilliant entertainment. Highly recommended.
Really lovely place to visit, very nostalgic, had our own carriage the kids loved it. There is a small gift shop and a cafe and toilets worth a visit pre book preferably. They have halloween event coming up and Christmas too.
A great place to visit if you are interested in trains or have children. The railway is run by volunteers and there are a number of trains including steam trains, as well as a small shop, bar, museum and restaurant where they serve oatcakes at a very reasonable price. I would definitely recommend visiting Foxfield steam railway.
Small, volunteer run heritage railway. Extremely friendly staff. Pleasant train ride through Staffordshire countryside. Even got the opportunity to go on the engine footplate. Not expensive and well worth a visit. Definitely recommended.
Visited the line on August 1st as they were running trains comprised of the Victorian “Knotty” carriages. This is always very popular as the carriages are only used a few months per year. All trains were sold out and we were lucky to get tickets which are purchased in advance online. There are lots of locomotives at the railway so we’re arrived early so we could have a good look around and also get a bite to eat. I can recommend the cafe for good food at a reasonable price. The sausage baps are great! The train was of course steam hauled by a saddle tank engine. We really enjoyed the ride. The Guard was really friendly and made children welcome and had a bit of fun with them. All the staff were great and made sure you had a nice time. We would certainly visit again. Covid measures were in place and we felt safe.
