This fascinating day out at East Somerset Railway is perfect for lovers of heritage travel, beautiful countryside and delicious treats. The steam train will be stoked up and ready to go, so begin with a nostalgic journey through the Mendip countryside. Afterwards, head to the Whistlestop Café for a tasty cream tea, including scones with clotted cream and jam and freshly brewed tea or coffee. There’s also the opportunity to peek behind the scenes of this working heritage railway, so finish the day with a visit to the engine shed, museum, gift shop, the David Shepherd Discovery Centre, miniature railway and signal box. It’s a truly fascinating look back in time!
