Perhaps not the easiest to find but well worth the effort. Friendly staff, a roomy cafe and fascinating ride. Not what you expect to find in a rural farmyard. Steam and diesel engines performing well on a narrow gauge line the follows part if the sadly missed S&D. Check their website for opening days/times before you go.

An excellent volunteer run light railway. Keep in mind this railway is open only a handful of days a year. A good length track that has a fun little cross over at the middle junction. Plenty of free on site parking, from which you can watch 3 steam engines and a diesel running. Very well presented with an excellent array of signals to let you really see how a railway runs. Facilities include a model railway, small second hand bookshop, food, drinks and large covered eating area (plenty of space for picnics). Toilets are clean and modern. This place really does have it all. My only disappointment was the lack of GLR branded badges or apparel. Oh, and there are plenty of spots of the trainspotters to get a unique photo. The ticket allows unlimited rides for the day. Great value for money.
