What visitors say
Visited the park and the cafe. The cafe was great. Food is inexpensive ans good quality. I was on a large mobility scooter and they went out of their way to accommodate me. Went to look at the trains after. All the children there were loving it. For a family it is a great day out.

It was my first steam train ride. I loved it, my husband and our dog - not as much... Not a long trip, but allows to enjoy nature with many green land around and some wildlife. Great attraction for families and kids. All staff very friendly.

Great family experience. Friendly staff and a lovely picnic area with a great children’s play area. The miniature railway even has little first class carriages. A must for little ones who love trains!

Lovely little railway beside a beautiful lake full of wildlife. Free parking. Train ride is a bit underwhelming but the setting is gorgeous. Well worth a visit.
