What visitors say

Max Waldron

Very friendly and helpful staff go the extra mile. Took a ride on the train and loved it. Amazing history behind the railway and totally unique. Great value for money especially when you consider it is a 27 mile round trip and only 15 inch gauge. Locomotives immaculate and everything ran to time. Need to go back and thanks for such a great time.

This is a fantastic day out for all ages, for train enthusiasts or those that just want a fun trip to the seaside. We visit regularly, but this time on RH Young Enthusiasts day, where I took my 5 year old for a day out exploring how railways work. We visited the signal box, model railways, train sheds, explored live railways track (with supervision) and enjoyed many train rides through the day. This is a great organisation, full of knowledgeable and friendly staff. Above all this was an amazing 5 star day, where we will absolutely visit again and again 🌟

Nice steam train ride. Seems gotten expensive since my last visit a year ago. Parking is not included £6 . I enjoy Dungeness beach, pebble beach.

We have ridden the train from the Hythe to Dungeness on many occasions with the children but they are all grown up now. We were visiting Greatstone for a few days, and found the return ticket price a little high value from New Romney to Dungeness (£19.50), so we walked from New Romney to Dungeness, and got the train back. This was £13pp, and £1.50 for the dog. Adult fare for return @£30pp (March 2026) seemed expensive, but everything seems to be these days. We filmed steam on our walk but when boarding the train, it was diesel - a disappointment. We were the last train going back to the Hythe, so at New Romney, everything had started to close, and there were no loco's view.
