Lovely place to visit. Museum is cheap and has a lot of history behind it and also the model railway was brilliant. Took my little lad on it and we both thoroughly enjoyed it Can't wait till we go again

Just across a footbridge from the mainline station, the shop is crammed with models and books for the railway enthusiast. The lady behind the counter charged me £1 to visit the small museum containing some spectacular dioramas, memorabilia, signalling equipment and lots of models. Plenty of push-button fun for kids and adults alike! There are toilets at the back of the museum, and a café in a railway carriage.

Brilliant place to visit. Kids will love it. Plenty for them to do. The train lasts 10 minutes and is worth every penny. We always come here as my daughter is obsessed with trains. The staff know us well so always get a welcome from them.

Not overly brilliant but entry is cheap and it is worthwhile to pop in and see the 1/4 scale 'Britannia' live steam loco. There are quite a few electric model trains that are button operated and are a bit of fun with some of the layouts being quite large. There is a ride on garden railway that runs a fair way round the grounds. It is most often hauled by a diesel although a steam train does the trips sometimes; probably on weekends at the height of summer.

What a great little place for young children. We had an excellent time here with our 20 month old son and really enjoyed the railway carriage cafe there too. Much less crowded and better priced that anywhere else in the village.
