West Somerset Railway 2026

Trip Overview

From Plymouth we make our way to Bishops Lydeard in Somerset to board our steam train to Minehead.
This railway recaptures the era of the country’s branch lines in the days of steam.
Enjoy 20 miles of glorious Somerset scenery as the train gently rolls back the years on it journey beside the Quantock Hills to the Bristol Channel coast.
After arriving in Minehead, you will have leisure time to shop, walk the promenade or even indulge in the local fish and chips before boarding the train to return to Bishops Lydeard.

A deposit is required if phoning a booking.
Price includes Coach & Train Fare
Please note as well West Somerset Railway changed the date of the trip just a few weeks before we travelled last year as they had an opportunity to take The Flying Scotsman that day.
So a change of date is a possiblity if they have a chance of a heritage locomotive from elsewhere in the country.
