Come and sample the atmosphere and take a ride on our award winning period country railway. A really pretty line, currentlly one mile long, with relocated station buildings, signal boxes and bridges all lovingly restored and rebuilt. Come and visit the Garden Railway, Travelling Post Office Exhibition, large and varied collection of operational vintage steam, diesel engines and carriages and wagons that represent much of our Railway Heritage. The Colne Valley Farm Park opens on the 29th April 2007.
Garden Railway
Visit our new attraction for all ages. A few of our volunteers have developed a miniature railway in a Garden Environment. SM32 gauge trains run around 100 metres of track through a tunnel, stations and over bridges. Can you find Nessie?
Visitor Centre
Open most operational Sundays and at special events. See how our railway has developed over the years, and the previous Colne Valley & Halstead Railway's early history.
Station Shop
Open most operational days and at special events, stocking a wide selection of Thomas toys and Railway souvenirs.
Station Buffet Carriage
The Buffet carriage is open every day the trains are running. A typical menu includes freshly made sandwiches, scrumptious home made cakes and refreshments.
