Avon Valley Railway

About this activity

Avon Valley Railway is a place that is perfect for families looking to spend a day out in the beautiful Gloucestershire countryside. The railway is an attraction that offers a unique experience that is not only exciting but also educational. This attraction is located in the small village of Bitton, nestled in the rolling hills of Gloucestershire, and it offers a range of activities and experiences that the whole family can enjoy.

The Avon Valley Railway is an authentic and restored steam railway that runs on a five-mile track from Bitton Station to Oldland Common. This railway is a fantastic experience for both children and adults. It is a true blast from the past, taking you back in time to when steam trains were the primary mode of transport. The sound of the engines, the whistle of the steam, and the rhythmic clattering of the carriages are all part of the magic that makes this attraction so special.

The railway journey itself is a highlight of the day, taking you through the picturesque countryside of Gloucestershire. The views from the train are stunning, and you'll see everything from rolling hills to picturesque villages, and even the odd farmyard or two. The journey is made all the more exciting by the fact that you'll be riding on a real steam train, which is an experience that you simply can't get anywhere else.
