Spa Valley Railway
About
The Spa Valley Railway is a living heritage railway that whisks visitors through the rolling High Weald of Kent in authentic steam and diesel locomotives. Running from Tunbridge Wells West to Eridge via the picturesque High Rocks and Groombridge, the line is a favourite for families, train enthusiasts and history lovers alike. From themed dining events on board – including traditional fish‑and‑chips lunches, three‑course roast dinners, cheese tastings, cream teas, and even Burns Night – to special celebrations such as the Polar Express and Murder Mystery evenings, there is always a unique experience to enjoy. The route also offers scenic rail rides, driver‑experience days, and private charters for weddings and corporate events. Volunteer‑led events and seasonal festivals add another layer of charm, making the Spa Valley Railway a year‑round destination for anyone who appreciates heritage railways and the picturesque English countryside.
