Welcome To Helston Railway

The most southerly railway in the UK

Steam and Diesel Train Rides – Scenic Views – Good Food.

The Helston Railway Preservation Society was the result, back in 2002 of a vision by a small number of enthusiasts to re-open a section of the Helston branch line. We now have a fully functioning standard gauge heritage railway.

We welcome dogs to all areas of Helston Railway, including in certain areas of our buffet carriages and on the trains to and fro from Prospidnick.

We are currently CLOSED until our Santa Specials start on 7th December. You can book tickets for these trains now via the BOOK NOW link.
