Is such a great spot for train loving little ones! Set in a lovely wildlife space the site is next to the trainline so there is the opportunity to see trains pass. The model railways are set up so you can watch them. They also have a model railway that is Thomas the Tank Engine themed and children can control the trains.
It is worth noting that it is not open every day and the days it is open changes seasonally so it's best to check the website.
