Sample the atmosphere and take a ride on The Colne Valley Railway. A pretty line, almost a mile long, with relocated station buildings and a large and varied collection of operational steam and diesel engines, carriages and wagons.
There’s a miniature Garden Railway and a 600 metre long miniature railway to ride, (both weather permitting) whilst the Tierney Model Railway Shed houses a large 10m x 5m 00 gauge layout.
If you have worked up an appetite then take a seat in The 'Sidings' Buffet carriage. The railway’s shop has a wide selection of souvenirs, Thomas items, railway and local interest books and confectionery.
As well as its steam and diesel railcar operating days through the season, the railway also hosts a range of
different events, including Days Out With Thomas in June and September, Bing and Flop (July) Bus & Commercial vehicle rally (August)
Dogs are welcome any time except at Santa Specials. Most of the site is accessible by those with limited mobility.
