As well as riding the train you can visit our engine shed and workshop and see our restoration projects up close, while away an hour or so chatting away to our very knowledgeable volunteers.

Our visit to Kilver Court Gardens was a suprise organised by our son-in-law and our daughter along with our grandchildren. It was a delight! The viaduct is very imposing and impressive and the gardens and water features are a splendid sight. Afterwards you can explore the garden centre and shops if you so desire.
