Avon Valley Railway history
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the rich history of the Avon Valley Railway. Originally opened in 1869 by the Midland Railway, this line served as a vital connection between Birmingham and the South Coast. It later became an integral part of the iconic Somerset & Dorset Railway, weaving through picturesque landscapes and bustling towns!
Fast forward to today, and you'll find three miles of meticulously re-laid track, beautifully restored locomotives, and carriages that harken back to a bygone era. As you journey along the Avon Valley, the nostalgic sound of steam engines chugging along the tracks fills the air, transporting you to a time when rail travel was the epitome of adventure and romance!
