Statfold Barn Railway

Statfold Barn Farm, located close to Tamworth in Staffordshire, is the home to the Statfold Barn Railway which, under the guidance of owners Graham & Carol Lee over the last fifteen years, has grown to become what must be the most significant collection of narrow gauge locomotives in the UK. With over 30 steam locomotives and many internal combustion locomotives, representing most British and several overseas manufacturers. With the recent establishment of the Statfold Narrow Gauge Trust the future of this unique collection is ensured beyond the lifetime of its owners. As well as our public open & enthusiast days, Statfold also offer Driver Experience Days, educational tours & special events including Santa Express Trains, Halloween Steam & Scream and much more..!

Really enjoyable day out to a local railway that we didn't know existed until a few months ago. Went to' Road and Rail' weekend and was amazed to see how many engines were in steam all day, with options of tram ride or just meandering around the site and museum. Ample, well organised parking and the whole site itself was clean and very well marshalled. Covid 19 measures were excellent, with plenty of sanitiser points and staff cleaning everywhere. Highly recommended and well worth a visit

I've been a regular patron of this gem of a place from its opening night. Very intimate, and friendly, with a fantastic variety of beers and ciders, and a hard core of characterful regulars, plus a passing trade that is often charmed enough to pay further visits. One can see this from other reviews. Ged and Ade, the owners, really know their stuff, so all credit to them and to their lovely people.

Myself and my good lady booked a ski level 1 & 2 ahead of our ski holiday to Chamonix, the tuition we had was brilliant, David was confident, reassuring, and very patient, he taught us the basics of slow speed control. Ski level 2 was with Peter, again, brilliant, he taught us how to to start making turns, he explained what we needed to do in very simple terms, reassured me when I cocked it up, told me what I did wrong and how to correct it. Genuinely couldn’t wish for better instructors, big thanks to both of you. Thanks.

Had a fab afternoon at Jump, the kids loved it! really good value for money, the staff were helpful and friendly, the place is absolutely spotlessly clean, (quite often soft play places I've visited before have a grubby feel to them), the food was good and service too. Would definitely recommend and the kids already want to know when we're going back... good afternoon had by all. 5*

Now our current favourite place!! You get to sit around such rich history. There is the herringbone wall that is over a thousand years old. During social distance they’ve totally managed it fantastically with a traffic light system, table service, regular updates on their Facebook page. All the staff seem really happy to work their and George is clearly passionate about his little gem! You would forget you’re sat in tamworth, it’s picturesque idyllic and great beers!!! I do not personally recommend pear and chilli, it’s a-bit of a marmite love it or hate it. I highly recommend pineapple cider! I’m not even a cider drinker but I highly recommend This place. If you’re stuck for choice they do a really clever board with 3x 1/3 glasses of ciders to try Also do wines, gins and ales. I would like to try the tamworth gin next time. Got yourself 2 new regulars.
