All aboard for a nostalgic steam train ride across glorious Exmoor from Southern England’s highest railway station.

View Exmoor as the Victorians did from authentic carriages designed in the 1880s.

A one mile return trip from Woody Bay Station to Killington Lane and back. Two miles in total taking approximately 20 minutes.

Steam trains through rolling countryside, with views out to wild moorland and the rugged coastline. Originally opened in 1898, and closed in 1935; what you can see today at Woody Bay is just the beginning of an exciting project to rebuild one of the world’s most famous and picturesque narrow-gauge railways; the legendary Lynton & Barnstaple Railway.
