This 7 nighter brings together the castles at Hever and Leeds, the award winning garden at Exbury, the new enlarged and awe inspiring attraction at Stonehenge and nostalgic steam hauled journeys on 7 of our top Heritage Railway sites. It works well as a small group tour but can also be set up as a tailor made programme for just 2 people with their own driver guide. Highlights include:
- An afternoon visit to the Didcot Railway Centre to see their unique collection of Great Western Railway steam engines, coaches, wagons, buildings and small relics.
- STEAM, the Museum of the Great Western Railway
- The much expanded and awe inspiring prehistoric site at Stonehenge
- A miniature railway ride through the award winning gardens at Exbury
- A 10 mile journey through the Hampshire countryside on the Watercress Line
- Visits to the breathtakingly beautiful castles at Hever and Leeds
- The largest collection of Southern steam locomotives at the Bluebell Railway, the UK’s first preserved standard gauge passenger railway
- A ride on the 15-inch gauge Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway working railway with a fine fleet of one-third scale steam and diesel locomotives.
- The East Kent Railway, an exciting up and coming heritage railway deep in the Kent countryside originally built to serve the Kent collieries.
- The Kent & East Sussex Railway which owes much of its charm to its origin as the world’s first light railway.
