First Class Steam Train Ride Through Dean Forest!

Enjoy a luxurious journey along the Dean Forest Railway behind one of our steam locomotives, travelling on board our First Class Hawksworth Inspection Saloon.

Add a little extra with several bookable options to collect from our cafe and take on board with you, including afternoon teas and prosecco.

Your journey will last approximately 90 minutes, covering our nine mile round trip along our forest line. You will begin your journey at Norchard Station and travel south to Lydney Junction and north to Parkend before returning to Norchard. The train will stop for around 20 minutes at both ends of the line (Lydney Junction and Parkend), while the engine runs around, where you’ll have the perfect opportunity to get some photos of the train, as well as use the facilities if needed.

Don’t forget to visit our shop, museum and cafe at Norchard Station, which are open all day (although the cafe closes after the last full round trip departs).
