Trains at the Soar Valley Garden Railway

Drive our Trains: £2
Children (and adults young at heart) are welcome to drive our trains. We have three railway lines for your to drive trains on...

Soar Castle Railway
(Featuring Soar Bottom Castle and the Tudor village of Soar Bottom)
Soar Summit Western Railroad
(Our Wild West Railway)
Our Wild West Railway and Soar Castle Railway are great for learning to drive our trains and you'll usually be asked to try these trains before moving onto the mainline. These two smaller lines were new in 2016 & 2017 and we're still adding buildings to them




Soar Valley Mainline
Our mainline travels the length of our garden. Children may drive trains accompanied by an adult (maximum 3 children)
On the mainline you can touch the trains and buildings. You'll find passengers waiting at the stations and you are welcome to pop them inside the carriages.
