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