Cinderbarrow Miniature Railway

Great picnic place for families. A full layout of miniature hand built steam,electric locomotives. These also have carriage's to experience the pulling power of these machines. There is also a portable and fixed smaller layouts for younger children to enjoy,and adults too. Parking is limited so pack up lunch and get there early,and enjoy.

I have been here many times over the last few years. My son is mad about trains and is always happy to visit here. There is a good sized picnic area although only a couple of tables with benches, a good idea to bring a picnic blanket of you plan on sitting for a while. The trains run around the outside of the picnic area and there are occasionally steam trains running. You can ride on the trains, with a suggested donation of £1.50 per ride which can be paid by card or cash (it is done on an honesty box/card payment). Anyone under 10 must have an adult ride with them. The volunteers that run the railway are always very friendly and great with kids.
An addition for this year has been a train set that kids can have a play with and control the trains themselves - it seems to have been welcomed by visitors and loved by children.
Parking can be a bit tight on sunny days but I have always managed. There is occasionally a food van there although I have not seen it in a while.
The trains run most Sundays (although closed over winter) and some Thursdays during summer holidays.

Parking available but fills up quickly. Really good miniature railway. Grassed area surrounded by woodland with picnic benches also so you can also wave to those riding on the train. Is free but with a donation box, can also donate by card. Well worth it.

I had a great time @ the Miniature Railway. The staff are very friendly, polite and professional, The carried out the Covid 19 routines to the book. I definitely recommend that everyone of all ages can go along & visit this truly lovely little railway & enjoy the experience.

Easter 2024 update, it's got much better. There's two smaller areas, one with remote control Playmobile trains for young kids who are offered the remotes to control the trains. Another area has 4 large circuit tracks for viewing only. We saw a large Lego train, some battery powered locos and a few steam trains, all Guage one.

Great hour here with grandsons, 3+4 yr old, they were fascinated with the model trains and the men who were there were all very nice and speaking to the boys, also loved the sit on train, all they ask for is a donation, fantastic job guys 👍🏻

Went with family, been before. Always popular with visitors. Picnic area to relax and enjoy. Train rides Always popular for a suggested donation of £1. Helps towards the upkeep. All run by volunteers. Children and Adults love it.

Absolutely fantastic and well worth a visit great location and a myriad of scale trains 🚆 😀 👍

Great miniature railway run by dedicated engineers. Grandchildren love the attraction and great to see staff interacting with them and answering their questions.

Great afternoon out. Grandchildren loved watching and riding on the trains. Very pleasant train enthusiasts doing a great job!

This is a great little train ride. There is no charge but a recommended £1 pp voluntary donation which we thought was very good. Everyone was so nice. We took our grandchildren and they loved it. After going round twice we then watched the model railway for a while. It's a lovely picnic site.

Come along for rides. There are trains running most Sundays. Great place for kids of all ages.

Grandchildren really enjoyed Cinderbarrow. Plenty of space for a picnic and ball games too. Volunteers friendly, well worth a visit if you are in the area with children or a train

Didn't know it existed until my son was invited to a birthday party there, we both had a great time.

Absolutely brilliant. Charity ran and all staff are lovely. Really good afternoon out with the kids.

Brilliant little railway in lovely location. Picnic benches on site as well as a small woodland walk and open grass area for kids to run around.

Lovely afternoon spent at the railway. Our two year old grandson loved it. Will definitely be back with a picnic next time. 🚂

Halloween night was terrible weather but all the volunteers stuck to the task with smiles on there faces and made a great night of it

Awesome miniature railway with ride for all young and old
