Steam Train Experience

What a great day! Bought as a birthday present for me, my wife and I went down to the railway. We spent time looking around the Railway - some really awesome nostalgia (weirdly loved the telephone box) and of course the locomotives. Amazing. The tea and journey on the train was top notch! A great end to a great day. Thoroughly recommend as a day out. (Plant based option was available without cream).

It was a wonderful day, spent 5 hours there. The whole volunteer team are a credit, so good to see some young ones in the mix as well. The afternoon tea was lovely and the home made scones were superb and that is coming from a Cornish girl

Old enough to remember standing on platforms as a kid watching full size locos thundering through stations, I never thought I would have chance to drive one. Pete, the engineer, made the whole experience interesting, enjoyable and very informative. Highly recommended.

A wonderful experience from start to finish! A warm welcome from the staff, beautiful carriages, delicious food and great hospitality - thank you to each and every staff member who made this possible

What a lovely treat! Great food and excellent service

We met as part of a group of seven and, after coffee, we were given a tour of the locomotive shed, the carriage works and a signal box. After a provided lunch in the restaurant we had a return ride of the full length on the line, followed by a tour of the museum. Our guide was very knowledgeable without being overpowering and the whole day moved along very smoothly.

Everything possible they seem to have there, including incredible food! Lovely cake especially, good train rides and everything very informative. There is so much to see you will not get bored.

Excellent day out for the family, with lunch in Leyburn.

We enjoyed every bit of our visit and the whole team at Cranmore were super friendly and welcoming.

Took our grandson aged 4we all loved it the train was spotlessly clean very friendly the guard even invited our grandson into the cab which he loved would definitely recommend excellent value

Would highly recommend a visit to the East Somerset Railway. More than just a great trip on a real steam train, it's a terrific little museum preserving history. And a fab cafe and shop!
