Lovely experience

The meal was really lovely. The staff were attentive. An experience I'm pleased we didn't miss. Only downside, no disabled parking so getting into the castle was very difficult s I had to carry oxygen cylinders from the other side of the car park.

Excellent Day Out

The day was excellent with lots to see and the steam train to ride. The sheds are really good with marvellous engines to see. A lot of fun for all the family. Would recommend to anyone with a love of trains and nostalgia.
