We went here after finding out they were hosting a classic/ vintage cars event over the weekend.
We really enjoyed the vintage cars, and to add to that, we decided to take a ride on the steam train which was a great out-and-back journey through the countryside.
Unlike Network Rail, the train provid
The volunteers have done great work in reopening this railway line over the years that they have been around and making great strides. wish them luck in extending to their goal. Very nice and helpful volunteers and wait to visit again
This is well worth a visit. Everyone who works here is a volunteer and have made a fantastic job of getting it to where it is today. Go and support a very good cause, you won't be disappointed.
I visited the site on a Special occasion, an operating Day.
It's a nice experience although a little awkward to get to, as the original route to Alnwick is severed by Development in the Town, and the A1 Great North Road.
I travelled by Train to Alnmouth and then onwards by bus, Service x18 then x15
A small but pleasant heritage railway with friendly staff, nice food (reasonably priced) and a cool selection of locomotives and units.
Excellent heritage railway run entirely by volunteers. Free access to site (including on site parkjng) and reasonable fare for journey along line. Dogs allowed.
Great views from train, fun day out in alnwick. Also a playground and miniature railway for kids
The train journey is interesting but short and a linear experience. Nice to see the train coupling process. They have a nice play park for kids, model railway exhibit and workshops to explore. I think if I went with the kids again I would not take the train journey and just buy the all day miniature
We were quite surprised by Aln Valley when we arrived, there's more trains/engines here than what we'd imagined.
We took a trip on the train along to Greenrig Halt from Lionheart Station and took in some lovely views.
Once we got back we went to the gift shop and cafe for a bite to eat before playin
Loved steam engine No 60 used to haul coal. It now takes you on a short ride through the lovely countryside
If your into railways, wether its diesel or steam...
There's plenty see at 'The Aln Valley Railway' near Alnwick.
They even have a regular train service hauled by steam and diesel locomotives.
They've got FREE parking, a great little cafe, model railways, gift shop and they are building a new mus
Began as a voluntee with the AVR in 1998.
Coming along nicely to Greenrigg Halt.
Rollon to Alnmouth!.
This is a small but delightful railway. The volunteer staff could not have been more helpful, friendly and pleasant.
The site, particularly the beautiful garden areas, is a credit to everyone involved but mainly down to a kind, thoughtful and knowledgeable man called Ken.
To my everlasting shame I've never been here even though its only 30 miles away, well worth the visit, didn't travel on the train, will come back soon to do so. The volunteers have done a Stirling job building a railway fro. scratch. Full marks
A quaint little steam experience! We visited here after booking our seats/compartment online, so that we knew all 6 of our family would not be split up. Unfortunately, when we arrived they were ALL filled with groups of 2 or 3 and we were advised that we had to split up and fill the gaps - 2 were yo
It was our first ever time on a steam train so we have nothing to compare it to. But the little one (and the big ones) enjoyed the ‘choo chop’ train.
Plus, it passes over a beautiful viaduct.
Head towards Lionheart industrial estate and it’s signposted from there.
Fantastic, got dropped off at Greenrigg halt, had a walk by the river then caught the next train back and had a go on the miniature railway. Great for anyone with an interest in trains. Will be wonderful when it gets to Alnmouth.
