Come and meet our friendly staff and take a relaxing ride on our heritage steam train through the beautiful Mendip countryside. The train journey is approximately 40 minutes over our 5 mile round trip. Ride as many times as you like on your visit!
We are one of the few steam railways where you can visit our engine shed and workshop, as well as enjoying our small museum, signal box, miniature railway (NB: signal box and miniature railway only open on select days), shop and café serving delicious homemade meals each day we are in steam.
Did You Know?
At Cranmore station sits a rare combined post box and telephone box (K4 model) of which only 50 were built. It came from Bristol City Centre and was bought from the GPO for just £10. The post box is still in operation today, so feel free to post your ‘Wish you were here’ postcards.
