South Devon Railway

Had such an incredible time on the South Devon Railway. The steam train running alongside the River Dart was beautiful — especially with the sun out on a freezing day. The staff at the ticket counter and onboard were genuinely friendly, and the little museum at the station really takes you back in time. A lovely, nostalgic experience from start to finish.

A lovely trip on along the River Dart on a fabulous steam train. Butterflies and Otters at one end in Buckfastleigh and the Totnes Rare Breeds Farm at the other. Very friendly staff

Lovely day out on this heritage railway with views along the Dart Valley. Interesting exhibits at all 3 stations and a nice cafe and gift shop at Buckfastleigh. All the volunteers had smiles on their faces and clearly enjoyed what they were doing. Not a criticism but a suggestion, there was little or no signage at Buckfastleigh to direct you to the town centre If anyone wanted to go there. However on the Monday we visited, everywhere except one pub was closed.

A wonderful place to visit if you like Steam Trains. A pleasant ride and experience. We did not book and there was plenty of seats as there were several carriages.

The museum has plenty of exhibits to look at. The shop is big and they have a large cafe. Great selection of tasty treats though note it's card only.

Parking was not too bad.

We visited in the Easter Holidays. We did a round trip and there were plenty of spaces. Cafe, gift shop all well equipped although our sandwiches were a little stale at 12:00. Coffee and ginger bread man on the train were great though from the trolley. Would recommend especially if you have a fan of steam trains! Staff were great also 😄 🚂
