Our closest Station is Highley where you can find the Engine House visitor center, a haven for young explorers with an outdoor play area and lots to explore indoors. There’s an impressive collection of Steam engines on display, including Gordon!!

It’s worth making the quick 10 minute drive to the Bridgnorth station, convenient parking makes it easy to start your railway journey from this historic town and from there you can ride the full length of the line. Make a day of it and ride the train all the way to Kidderminster.. From Bridgnorth, embark on a leisurely ride that winds its way through lush landscapes, offering glimpses of villages and the River Severn along the way. Keep your eyes peeled, as you might even catch a surprising sight—a camel or two ambling by!
