Best (& possibly longest) private railway in the UK. Lots of places to visit along the line, particularly the quaint Watchet - an ancient port. Pretty stations.

We recently visited the railway, as part of my Dad's Birthday celebrations. We had a wonderful day out- the trains and Stations were beautifully restored (it was like stepping back in time) and we loved the places they took us to. All of the staff were so friendly and helpful- with special thanks to Ron, the Station Master at Dunster,... More

a very enjoyable journey through very picturesque countryside and regular stops at some lovely old stations. The steam train is a lovely experience. not cheap but its worth the ride i think.

Steam train journey which took me back to my childhood days and trips to the coast from London on the steam trains.

This is a lovely ride through beautiful countryside, stopping at some interesting towns. The staff were all very friendly & helpful. It is situated near the seafront, and has much rolling stock including steam and diesel locomotives. The scenery is beautiful and the towns & villages en route pretty and interesting.
