The weather can be challenging in winter and sometimes our volunteers cannot get over to open up the site. The site was purchased by Stainmore Properties Ltd after it had been used as a bobbin factory and Stainmore Railway Company volunteers have worked over the years to develop a Heritage Centre and an operational railway which welcomes visitors at weekends. Admission: Admission is free but charges apply for train rides and some events. |
