What visitors say

Stefan Ward

Great place to visit when it's on. I've taken my children a few times now, remember the railway is run by volunteers and although it's free donations do help towards the upkeep and running costs.

Lovely park, just have to check from the night before the play train for Matches chewing gum on the kids seats. They have rebuilt after the fire earlier this year, worth a visit. The miniature railway next door is still closed they used to run it on a Sunday and kids holidays. When it is operating it does a loop of the park, past the pond, adults can go on the train too just stay balanced.

Excellent place for the kids and train lovers. The guys running the trains are also great and friendly. I can’t believe is run only on tips. A must place to bring the kids. 5*
