The trains will be hauled by diesel locomotives from our heritage Mardyke collection, although steam locomotives may appear if available on some trains. On some days it may be possible as an add on to ride a shorter route on one of our sit in Electric Multiple Units to Belvedere and back.

The Railway

There are also additional railway running dates as advertised on the Railway’s website and Facebook page. This is a unique way of seeing the garden from another lower point of view.
Thursday Delights
Usually quieter days with a picnic space. A chance to catch the Crab Apple blossom and spring flowers as well as early flowering shrubs. There are two well signed tours to follow (the Red and Blue Routes) which shows you most of the garden away from the house and a good proportion of the 80 sculptures.
