Eastbourne Miniature Steam Railway

A Railway Adventure in Eastbourne. The Eastbourne Miniature Steam Railway was the dream brought to life by Mike Wadey and his family back in 1992. After a year of hard work by them and some great friends they were able to open the gates for all to enjoy. You can now travel behind the famous one-eighth scale miniature locomotives as they meander for nearly a mile around the beautiful country park. Enjoy a pleasant stroll around the five-acre lake where nature and wildlife may be seen in their natural habitats. Relax in the prize-winning tea gardens with a range of beverages, including cream tea with home made scones and a spot of lunch from the railway style cafe. There is a large playground area with picnic benches and play equipment for the older children and also an enclosed 'Tots area' for under 5's to play, explore and 'let off steam'. The 'sidings' is an undercover area where you can enjoy watching the model railways go by and just outside from there is a lovely garden railway. There is a gift shop with a large range of stock inside and friendly staff to help make your day extra special.
