Steam Train Trip with Fish Supper
A suggestion from Frances and Tony Green has led us to charter an evening trip on the Dean Forest Railway with Fish and Chip Supper on a steam train!

Founded by the Dean Forest Railway Society in 1970, the Dean Forest Railway runs along part of the old Severn & Wye Railway lines, which were first built as a tramroad over 200 years ago.

The current railway line is approximately 4 1/2 miles long, running from Lydney Junction Station (close to the mainline railway station and a short walk from the harbour) at the south end of the line to Parkend (a small forest village) at the north end of the line.

The line runs through beautiful woodland and countryside, offering you a chance to experience the relaxing pace of a typical country branch line.You will pay the Dean Forest Railway directly the £32.50 per person and order your chosen meal

The Choice is

  • Fish and Chips
  • Chicken and Chips
  • Jumbo Sausage and Chips
  • Veggie Burger and Chips
