Discover the charm of private railways as we journey through the English countryside. Start at Chinnor Railway Station in Oxfordshire, where the past comes alive with steam trains and vintage carriages. Travel to Carnarvonshire's Dinorwic Slate Quarries, once transported by the Duke and Duchess of York's private railway. Next, hop on the Cholsey and Wallingford Railway to Wallingford Station in Oxfordshire. Continue your adventure on the West Somerset Railway, stopping at Crowcombe Heathfield Station. Admire the Frys and Bovril signs, remnants of past advertising on the platform. Journey on to Bishops Lydeard Station, where the West Somerset Railway begins. Marvel at the steam engines and take a break at Stogumber Station, before returning to Crowcombe Heathfield Station for a final look at the past. Private railways offer a unique glimpse into history, transporting us back in time as we explore the beautiful English countryside.
