I have been going to this railway with my son for most of his 14 years. The railway is independent of the garden centre unlike some others nearby. It has a big oval track, which goes under tunnels.I also has a children's play area which has its own stop which people can get off to play with their children, and can be hired for parties as we have done in the past. It runs every weekend and some weekdays as well. Generally a diesel locomotive or 2 in operation on weekdays and saturdays. And usually a steam engine in operation on sundays. They often have special events. The Christmas decorations are stunning, with a nativity scene, loads of lights. And you can pay extra to get a Santa train to see Santa. Also other special events at other times of the year. They have a shop which sells second hand toys which have been donated. All money goes back into the railway to maintain and develop it. If you are a regular visitor it is worth getting a 10 ride ticket for £8 which saves a little money for regular visitors. It is run by a very committed team of volunteers. A amazing place.

This spectacular flight of sixteen working locks - surrounded by some beautiful wooded countryside and scenic walks - raises the canal 209 feet to reach a height of 518 feet above sea level at Marple.
We walked from Romiley by the canal seeing all kinds of nature. Fish, baby fish, ducks and ducklings, geese and goslings. Lovely to see the aqueduct stunning views, great to see the locks. Stunning views. A lovely walk.

Very helpful and extra friendly staff, thy opened the pig pens just for us, It’s a thrilling place to see so many farm animals so up close. They are all so nice and well kept. The play ground is so well equipped, it’s just so perfect for so many to enjoy, Thank you. I do hope the poor farmer that got stuck in the mud was able to get freed up. Looked like he was a really stuck in the mud lol Glad it’s open and so hope to return one day,
