Travelling back in time with this traditional steam train journey was a great day out. We parked at Norchard which has free parking and still very much looks like a blast from the past. Great station to start your journey. Little fascinating museum, modern gift shop mainly kids stuff and a long cafe. lots of trains and old signs dotted around the station. Quite a few benches to rest those legs too. The train was very rustic and comfortable and everyone gets off for photo opportunities at most stops. I especially loved seeing the engine move from front to back when we were at the end of the line. Snacks and drinks can be bought on-board and some stations have limited facilities. We got off at parkend and went for leisurely stroll and drink at The Woodman Inn. Very nice pub with exceptionally large sandwiches.

Superb small friendly railway line in a beautiful part of the world. Only the lack of toilet facilities on the train and warm platform shelter on cold wet days prevents me giving this top marks.
