Longleat Railway
Jump on board the 1 ¼ mile journey around the Park’s scenic woodland. Once you arrive at Longleat Central Station, you will then board a train painted in traditional railway livery. Make sure you have your cameras ready for the incredible views as you trundle along the edge of Half Mile Lake. Keep an eye our and you may catch a glimpse of our resident Californian sealions or Spot and Sonia, our two Ugandan hippos. They can walk the length of the lake without surfacing for air, so keep your eyes peeled. Whether your train heads into the woods first or up the hill to the lake, all trains return to Longleat Central.

Lynton & Barnstaple Railway
Steam trains through rolling countryside, with views out to wild moorland and the rugged coastline Originally opened in 1898, and closed in 1935; what you can see today at Woody Bay is just the beginning of an exciting project to rebuild one of the world's most famous and picturesque narrow-gauge railways; the legendary Lynton & Barnstaple Railway. You board your train - comprised of restored heritage carriages - at Woody Bay Station, and travel to Killington Lane and back on a two-mile round trip behind a narrow-gauge steam locomotive. The complete trip lasts about 25 minutes. Tickets are valid all day so you can ride as many times as you like. Return anytime within 28 days and travel all day at half-price.

Lynton & Lynmouth Cliff Railway
The Cliff Railway connects the twin towns of Lynton and Lynmouth providing stunning coastal views that will be the highlight of any visit. This working heritage railway is grade II listed, the UK's only fully water powered railway and one of just three examples left in the World! Perched on the cliff top, and at 500ft above the lower station, is our grade II listed Cliff Top Cafe offering perhaps the best location for a Cream Tea in the Westcountry. With amazing views and great food, it's just what you need before discovering what other secrets Lynton and Lynmouth has to offer.
