Dean Forest Railway Museum

 

a sunny platform

A museum in a very beautiful place.

 

After a lovely drive along the river you head into this lush green valley, and there you are. An absolute must for train enthusiasts, budding engineers and those that just fancy a good dose of nostalgia.

 

Not content with running their lovely steam & diesel trains (including Santa’s Specials) the DFR also operates a superb museum with a large collection of Forest of Dean and Severn & Wye railway memorabilia and telecommunication equipment.

 

Combine a train ride through wonderful countryside with a visit to the museum for a perfect day out.
