Hollycombe Steam in the Country

Had an amazing day at Hollycombe . My wife got me a traction engine day experience for my 50th. Owen was amazing as we're all the volunteers very friendly and loved to chat about the engines. We did everything from cleaning out the engine, oiling, firing up and driving round the site and or course the odd pull of the whistle. A lovely lamb hotpot for lunch and plenty of drinks . Even a little toy fair for me to spend a few shillings and have a chat with some stall holders. There was also plenty for my wife to wonder round while I was on my experience. The little train ride and the veiws are just amazing We will definitely be back Thank you for a great day out.

We visited on their 75th anniversary steam fair... It was a rather wet day but we thoroughly enjoyed the event... We thought that a visit with our grandchildren would be great on a sunny day when there would be time for them to enjoy the fairground rides without getting wet...

So i went here because there was a toy fair being held there. But what a lovely place. I love steam engines and this was an added bonus, steam powered fair ground rides, traction engines of all shapes and sizes. Miniature train rides and a small history of how steam powered great Britain 🇬🇧 well worth a visit.

Visited here for a “Steam Traction Driver Experience” from Virgin Experiences that my partner got me for a gift. I will begin with the staff - of which are some of the friendliest, nicest & most knowledgable guys in their area. I did my experience with Owen as my guide. Spent the entire day talking & got on really well. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer guide. Really knows his stuff & nothing was too much. A special mention for Harry as well for letting me go on his little steam train. Met Lucy (manager) and Rob also. Very kind people. The grounds are fantastic. Huge area filled with old carnival attractions & more importantly a vast amount of different steam traction units. Lovely tea room, shop, rail station & outdoor areas. The steam tractions were fantastic. We rode on Jasper, which is a beautiful green steam engine made in 1922. I got stuck in with loading up coal, firing the engine up, driving, cleaning, and putting to sleep. Will definitely revisit even without the experience day.
