Enjoy Private Steam Train Rides at The Hyde Luxury Self-Catering Holiday Accommodation in the Worcestershire Countryside
At The Hyde Luxury Holiday House, we are fortunate to have the longest private narrow gauge steam railway in the country. It is a 7¼" gauge with a variety of locomotives and carriages. The main station is set in an orchard near the house from which nearly two kilometres of track follow a scenic route around Netherwood Estate and includes tunnels, bridges, turntables and a viaduct.
A steam train session is indeed a wonderful and unique experience that can be enjoyed by all members of the family, from the youngest to the grandparents. Imagine embarking on a nostalgic journey through breathtaking scenery, with the soothing sound of chugging locomotives and billowing clouds of steam. It's an opportunity to step back in time and create lasting memories with your loved ones. During the ride, you'll have ample opportunities to capture stunning photographs and take in panoramic views that only a steam train can offer.
The railway is not open to the public, except for a few charity fund-raising days during the summer months when guests are welcome to join in. However, by prior arrangement and subject to driver availability, we are happy to organise steam train rides or engine driving experiences for the exclusive use of our guests. Please note that during the winter months (November-February) this can be much harder to arrange because adverse weather conditions make it too dangerous and it is the time of year we do maintenance on the track and rolling stock and therefore it may be out of action. Consequently, if you are particularly keen on the train, a stay between March and the end of October would be preferable.
To arrange this exceptional experience during your stay with us at The Hyde Luxury Holiday House and Cottage (sleeps 20 guests), please provide us with some details such as preferred dates, group size, and any specific requests you may have. Our dedicated team will work closely with you to create an unforgettable journey filled with joyous moments for everyone involved. Don't miss out on this extraordinary opportunity; book now and let us take care of everything so that you can focus solely on creating cherished memories with your family and friends aboard our magnificent steam train.
