Spa Valley Railway - (Tunbridge Wells West Station)

I recently enjoyed the Gin & Steam experience and it was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. The price include three artisan gins, a mixer and a slice of cake, all of which are served in one of the train's lovingly restored dining cars. Of course the best bit is that it all takes place aboard a restored steam train and what boy (no matter how old) doesn't enjoy that? You also get enough time to get off and explore the heritage stations along the route, which is an added bonus. I'm now looking forward to trying the Whiskey and steam experience and the cheese tasting train.

Wonderful steam train. Short journey but so lovely to go back in time. The Sunday lunch was really good considering what limited space they had to cook it

This was great fun. A 1hr journey through lovely countryside and reconstructed old fashioned stations. The cream tea was ace. There’s a bar on board. The staff were all really friendly. Great value for money and a great gift idea too.

Fabulous little railway. Only three stations but they are each very interesting with information boards and old railway paraphernalia. Tunbridge has got some big stores outside but there is really not much outside of the other two. The trains and cars were really the highlight with a variety of engines (steam and diesel) and they pulled cars from different time periods so each time we got on we felt like we were in a different era. Definitely worth a visit and to get a ticket that allows you to hop on and off all day. Staff were all friendly and passionate about what they do (all volunteers). The railway holds events such as Fawlty Towers meals and Murder Mystery which we were not involved in this time but may in the future. Just a really relaxing day out m

Who says the romance of steam trains is over? Extremely committed staff, steam engine enthusiasts, curious children and the stunning Kent countryside make for an experience of a past that has been lost for most of us. Thank you to the entire team that is keeping the nostalgia alive 🙏. Your passion and commitment are beyond compare.

Absolutely brilliant place to visit. We did the beer training the evening. Absolutely brilliant value for the money. All staff and volunteers super friendly and happy to help. Would most definitely visit again.

We had a lovely evening on the fish and chip train to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Didn't catch the gentleman's name but the waiter was very friendly, cheerful and helpful. Overall it was a very pleasant and relaxing evening.

Great experience of travelling in time and relive the history. Beautiful surroundings and very affordable when travelling with family. Definitely will come back to stop at high rocks as this stop was closed when I was there.
