The South Devon Railway - far more than just a steam train ride.
We're one of Devon’s and the West Country’s best loved tourist attractions and are the longest established steam railway in the south west. The railway is a seven mile former Great Western Railway branch line, built in 1872, which runs along the stunning valley of the River Dart between Buckfastleigh and Totnes, stopping at Staverton on the way.
We run steam trains with heritage rolling stock and offer a wonderful all day, all weather attraction for families and people of all ages.
While you are with us, you can visit the Totnes Rare Breeds Farm and Dartmoor Otters & Buckfast Butterflies with a great value 3 Great Attractions, 1 Amazing Day joint ticket.
Find us just off the A38 at Buckfastleigh, very close to the famous Buckfast Abbey, or by train to Totnes on the Great Western main line.
