Very much a hidden gem. Should be shouted from the rooftops, what is fantastic place this is. Tell your family, tell your friends to come on a visit, I guarantee you’ll love it.

Absolutely brilliant hour spent at Woodseaves. The train ride is wonderful, and it's a bargain! We had great fun riding round the plant nursey, helping set the points and learning about the origins and workings of the engines.

We stumbled across whilst visiting Shropshire Union Canal.So pleased that we found it.Had a lovely ride on the miniature train and purchased a beautiful pot of flowers.The garden looked idyllic and well looked after.The train creatively designed.The people who run it are very nice and welcoming. Highly recommend. Would be also nice having a tea room on the premises.

What a gem of a place! The owner Bill took a small group of us on his train around his beautifully kept garden and Jean showed us around the garden centre/nursery. The kids and adults all loved it. We were all really impressed.
