EDWARDIANSINDUSTRIAL REVOLUTIONVICTORIANSWhatever the weather, take a journey back in time with an enjoyable day of excitement and nostalgia at the award-winning Swanage Railway.
The 12-mile trip takes you through the beautiful Purbeck countryside, with incredible views of Corfe Castle.
Start your journey at Norden, close to Corfe Castle, and meander on down to the lovely Victorian seaside resort of Swanage where you will find stunning sandy beaches and plenty of parks and open space to explore.
Or begin at Swanage's vintage themed station and head north instead, watching out for the majestic sight of Corfe Castle coming into view high on the hill as you approach.
Alternatively, you can hop off/on the train at any of the stations along the route and make a day of it!
Swanage Railway is ideal for all ages
