Avon Valley Railway
Historic steam and diesel trains
The Avon Valley Railway is a beautifully restored heritage railway that offers a nostalgic travel experience through the scenic Avon Valley.
Operating steam and diesel trains along a three-mile section of the former Midland line, the railway allows visitors to step back in time to the golden age of rail.
The journey starts at the restored Bitton Station, which features a traditional ticket office, a charming café in an old railway carriage, and a gift shop.
Throughout the year, the railway hosts popular themed events, including "Thomas the Tank Engine" days and festive Santa specials, making it a favourite for families and rail enthusiasts alike.
It is a peaceful and evocative way to enjoy the local countryside from the comfort of a vintage carriage.
