Enjoy a relaxing journey along the Dean Forest Railway behind one of our steam locomotives.
Quick Details
Join us for a special journey through the Forest in one of our restored brake vans, hauled by a heritage diesel locomotive, to experience the wind in your hair as you experience life as a goods guard back in the time when the Forest’s railways were a vital transport route for freight.
You and your party (up to 6 people) will have a veranda (one end of the brake van) to yourself for a round trip of our line. We’ll first head to Parkend, where you will be able to see the locomotive run round your train. Then, a non-stop run to Lydney Junction will be followed by some time exploring rarely-visited loops and sidings at Lydney, followed by a return to Norchard. The brake van will be thoroughly cleaned between trips for your safety. Unfortunately, this experience is unsuitable for under 12’s.
