Welcome to The Watercress Line!
The Watercress Line, previously known as The Mid Hants Railway, was saved from closure in the 1970s and the line re-opened to visitors in 1977. As a charity, our mission is to preserve part of the country’s railway heritage for generations to come, and any profit generated from your visit enables us to do so.
