Plan your visit
Trains depart at frequent, regular intervals throughout the day. A return journey takes around 20 minutes and is just over a mile long. Special events include Visiting Loco Weekend, Grand Summer Gala and Autumn Gala.
The courses are designed to give you an appreciation of driving a steam locomotive – Our experience days make great birthday, anniversary, retirement or Christmas presents, or a treat for yourself!
Enjoy a ride on an authentic steam train around Moors Valley Country Park. The park is approximately 20 minutes drive from Bournemouth and Christchurch, and 40 minutes from Salisbury and Southampton.
Carrying over 100,000 passengers annually, the railway provides a picturesque journey of just over a mile. Travel along the banks of Moors Lake, through tunnels, a forest incline, and a spiral loop around the play areas.
The railway is run by an extended family team and many dedicated volunteers.
With over 20 locomotives, many built in the railway workshop, we pride ourselves on providing an authentic steam railway experience.
