The Old Station has developed an excellent reputation as one of the area’s top visitor centres, with our recently refurbished railway carriages offering a host of local information & history, as well as an N-gauge model railway.
The site has held the coveted Green Flag award since 2009, making it a wonderful hub for walkers and the perfect stop for tea and cake after a lovely walk.
Visitors can sit, relax and enjoy the wonderful scenery, wander along a relaxing one mile riverside circular walk, before visiting the Circle of Legends.
