Best for families who love trains and history, with a working miniature railway, museum carriages and riverside walks along the Wye to fill an afternoon.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
The pull is a real old railway station brought back to life, with a working miniature railway to ride and carriages turned into a mining-era museum, all wrapped in riverside walks along the Wye. Food can be hit and miss, so it suits families who come for the trains, history and setting as much as the meal, with a picnic as an easy fallback.

“We went in here for a stop to have some food. Because it was past 4pm the station wasn't open however we could still park and get in and there were a few benches which was good. There are some old railway tracks here and some grassland with some nice views. We had our camping food here and it was so good!!!!. I would definitely recommend if you want a picnic here!!!. Next time I would probably try out the cafe again. 😁😁😁”

“A great place to visit. Lots to do and a lovely cafe with plenty of choice of drinks and food. Plenty of outdoor seating and dog friendly. A very interesting museum in two railway carriages giving a lot of information about the railway in it heyday. Lots of walks too. Cark parking currently £2.20 for 3 hours and helps to keep the sight maintained.”
