An amazing little railway!!, you must come here if you are in the area, trains every 20 minutes both end and a 10-minute journey, the staff is very helpful and friendly, a nice cafe at Norfolk Road station and a nice pond at Mewsbrook Park Station, overall the journey was quite nice, you pass some nice trees before you head by the sea wall, you can see the sea and the beach huts, after that, the train goes past the golf course and some trees and houses. The train goes about 5-12 mph, and the length of the railway is just over half a mile, however, it feels a lot longer and I will certainly be going back on this miniature railway when I return to Littlehampton. Overall not the most exciting journey but its quite cheap and it's great for young children and adults The railway has a good history and is very interesting, ask the lovely staff for more information. So I give it 5* out of 5

This is a very cute miniature railway, we are a bit geeky when it comes to these things and have been on loads. The only reason it doesn't get a 5 star from us is because the Loco operating that day was a Diesel/Electric and my son said it was an excellent run but without seeing a steam train on the day He couldn't give 5 stars... He loves a steam engine! However, don't let him put you off, every one of the staff made you feel very welcome, all very chatty if you wanted that. Nice scenery, careful of the "Pitch and Putt" players as you pass! The train stops right next to a lovely Café that's also well worth visiting if you fancy a drink or bite to eat.
