Visit the Railway

We are based in the rural village of Prospidnick three miles to the north of the town of Helston at Trevarno Farm TR13 0RY. However if you use the post code in your Sat Nav it may not take you directly to our car park, if you type Helston Railway into google maps, it will!

Trains next run for our Santa Specials. Please see column to the right for details.

On arrival

Car parking is free.  The car park is 100 metres from the station at Prospidnick Halt.

At Prospidnick Halt

The train journey takes around 25 minutes along our restored railway line with extensive views across the countryside towards the Lizard and South Coast.

Why not spend some time in our little gift shop with its extensive range of railway themed gifts and souvenirs, or browse our extensive collection of pre-loved railway books and models, or for the younger children our collection of pre-loved Thomas Toys.

Or visit our buffet in the restored railway carriage, serving hot and cold drinks and snacks and light lunches including our locally sourced acclaimed bacon rolls.  We also stock gluten free options.

We also have a games room and video presentation for visitors to enjoy.
