There are plenty of ways to spend a fun day out with your family, but few are better than experiencing the delights of a heritage steam locomotive chugging through the Somerset countryside. With the stunning Mendip Hills on either side of you, this three hour visit is the ideal way to get the kids out of the house and learning about the wonderful world of steam trains. Hop on the railway at Cranmore station and find your way to a seat, then sit back and relax as the train pulls away and the steam erupts from the powerful engine. Mendip Vales is the destination, and once there passengers are welcome to step off the train and spend ten minutes observing the engine crew uncouple the locomotive, before it runs round the train ready to haul it back to Cranmore. Visitors have the option to get off at Cranmore West where you can visit the engine shed, and the informative and enjoyable workshops. With the family ticket you’re able to use the trainline throughout the day, so the fun doesn’t have to end when the train finishes its round trip! The Steam Train Rover Family Ticket doesn’t need to be booked in advance, making this experience perfect for spontaneous days in the countryside spent with loved ones. …
