WSR
Enjoy twenty miles of glorious Somerset scenery as the train gently rolls back the years on its journey on the superbly restored former Great Western Railway Minehead Branch through the hills and along the coast of beautiful West Somerset.
Plan a trip now and then just sit back in your seat and watch the steam and countryside drift past the window...
