What visitors say
A small industrial narrow gauge railway tucked away behind KFC in Sittingbourne. We went with a wheelchair and they were exceptionally helpful and kind. The step free access come out near the entrance to the skatepark [just past the top end of the car park - ie out the car park entrance and turn left]. The little cafe , museum and gift shop are at the far end of the line where the sheds etc are. There is usually just about time to do one of these before the train leaves after about 20 mins. I spent most of the time 'talking trains' with the staff. Nice hour or so spent there.

Have lived here for over 40 years and never been on the light railway so thought it was probably time! There's not a whole lot to see as most of the trip is extremely overgrown with vegetation but still cool nonetheless. It's a nice bit of history for the town and well done to those working hard to keep those memories alive.

Good value and a fun couple of hours. It isn't the most beautiful train ride at the start as it goes through an industrial estate before reaching the country park. It then stops for a while at the station while you have time to explore the little museum, look around at all the other train engines and visit the cafe. At £20 for a compartment that can seat up to 6 I felt it was good value and it was enjoyed by the adults and children
