What visitors say
I had an amazing experience riding the steam train from here on a double return, absolutely loving sitting in a comfortable classic carriage! The steam train pulling it was a fabulous experience as I had a Cornish cream tea at a standard price that tasted phenomenal, leaving from the vintage station that included buildings, signs, utilities and more. Cleanliness had been heavily maintained and there is a mini museum, featuring history about railways and also model ones!

The kids love a ride on steam trains, so we gave this a go as seen as we were staying down the road from it. It was great fun and loved the ride! There is nothing quite like a ride in a rain being pulled along by a steam train. We did the trip from Bodmin General to Bodmin Parkway which took about an hour there and back. If we had the time we could have waited a little longer and done the other trip to Boscarne Junction. Loved it!

I had an afternoon trip with a pre-booked cream tea, which was easy to pick up and the scones were some of the best I’ve had - delicious! Sandwiches were also plentiful in the cafe of various varieties. The atmosphere of the station captures the period well.

Amazing day spent in this lovely railway. Paid for a roaming ticket which was great value for money as you can stay on the train all day. Lovely sandwich and jacket potatoes from the cafe at a reasonable price.
