Isle of Wight Steam Railway

The railway, a relic of former steam services on the island, runs between Wootton, Havenstreet and Smallbrook, with the main station being at Havenstreet.

The standard gauge steam hauled service is more or less hourly, or half-hourly at peak season.

There is a substantial railway museum at Havenstreet, with engines and rolling stock, with a lower admission charge if you don’t want a train ride.

The site can be accessed by car, by the Isle of Wight electric railway, or by bus.  Ferries connect the mainland to Ryde or Fishbourne.

Worth a visit if you are a steam train buff.
