Reviews
The volunteers have clearly put lots of time and effort into the station. It's definitely worth a visit! For all ages!
We have visited frequently, and the cafe is run by friendly volunteers, and very homely. Usually a selection of cakes and sausage rolls / pasties and sandwiches. Good mug of tea too.
There is the railway shop selling mostly rail related books with an overspill in a carriage outside.
There is another carriage you can take the cafe food into, and benches outside.
Don't miss the hidden garden at the end of the platform up the path; lovely views across the hills.
Popular with walkers, cyclists and motorcyclists.
A retired railway station along a flat cycle trail. A great place to stop, with a small shop (rail oriented), and a little cafe serving snacks like pasties and cakes. Step back in time having tea in a carriage and when you visit the tiny museum, and make sure you experience the old station loos. A lot of modernisation is going on to extend the track and looks like more steam engines are arriving. Not easily accessible by car.
We came on a short afternoon out . Lovely place. We enjoyed the Musium with all our childhood memories. Thanks to the volunteers.
Really enjoyable visit. Having a look in the signal box was great. The chap explaining everything was very knowledgeable and answered any questions. Very interesting to see how everything worked before computers took over! Lots has been done since we last visited about 10 years ago. Wont be waiting that long for the next visit though! Great station cafe too and you can sit on the platform or in a carriage to eat and drink. The classic car display on when we visited was excellent and there was a wide selection of cars bikes and trucks. . Spent a lot longer here than we thought we might. Such a shame that the line was shut down in 1966. (My parents travelled on the last train)
