Fabulous little railway down in Saltburn-by-the-Sea!👏🏻 Right next to a car park, but it gets very busy. Passenger numbers determine the departure of trains, so bear that in mind. 5-10 mins to the other end where there is a tearoom. Childrens play areas on the way back if you walk. Hat's off to the railway folk keeping the wheels turning! 🤗👏🏻

Fantastic little railway that’s a fun short journey through Valley Gardens. We visited with family to see Santa. What a wonderfully organised event, with friendly and enthusiastic volunteers. It began at the station where we were greeted my elf’s, then a train ride to the grotto in valley gardens, refreshments, saw Santa and then the train back.

This is a fantastic little train ride for train lovers and kids alike. It doesn't last long, but it's a beautiful,scenic journey through the park, and it's an absolute bargain at £3 return for adults. I enjoyed taking the train to the end and walking back through the woods. This railway is run by volunteers who are lovely and friendly, and you can really feel their love for this delightful little railway. This is definitely a must visit for any family during their trip to Saltburn.

What a fantastic experience! Visited during the summer holidays with 2 children (5 years, 1 year)...they absolutely loved it! Wasn't busy to say it was a lovely day in the middle of summer...after buying tickets (no queue) we were pretty much straight on the train. They have cartridges suitable for prams which we used, however only a few and noticed some people needed to collapse their pram if there wasn't enough space. Lovely little trip through the woods. It is a very short trip, a walkable distance, but a great experience! We popped into the tea room at the other end before returning!

Lovely little train, staff were really friendly and the scenery was lovely. Even though there was an issue with one of the trains the volunteers kept us informed and we was up and running in no time.
