Eastbourne Miniature Steam Railway

There are times in life when nothing beats nostalgia, especially when you can head back in time to a more carefree and more elegant age. The golden days of rail travel were many decades ago now, but the special affection they generate can still be seen, heard and even smelt at the fabulous Eastbourne Miniature Steam Railway. The past may be behind us, but it’s reassuring to know that it hasn’t disappeared completely.  

There’s something wonderfully soothing about enjoying a ride on the mile-long track, and there are several iconic locomotives ready and waiting to take you. This is an understandably popular attraction for families, and they offer a golden opportunity to show the youngsters what the world of travel was once like 

The Eastbourne Miniature Steam Railway is located in a beautiful park, so you can also enjoy tranquil walks through the area and marvel at the local wildlife. There’s also crazy golf to be enjoyed here, so make sure you bring your A-game. The under-fives will want to spend time in the play area, and there’s an adventure playground for the older kids. 

And, when you’re ready to settle down and unwind, be sure to visit the railway-themed café for some well-deserved refreshments. If you prefer, you can bring a picnic instead and enjoy it in the grounds.
