The Kent
& East Sussex Railway owes much of its charm to its origin as the world's
first light railway. Originally opened in 1900, the tightly curved line with
steep gradients is typical of those rural railways that were developed on
shoestring budgets to bring the 'iron horse' to sparsely populated
areas.
Re-opened by dedicated volunteers as an attraction in 1974, following
its demise in the 1950s, today it is one of Britain's most loved, most original
heritage railways, running steam and heritage diesel trains for ten and a half
miles from Tenterden in the Kentish Weald through the Rother Valley, brushing
past Northiam to Bodiam in East Sussex- where it terminates a stone's throw
from the magnificent Bodiam Castle.
An ever-evolving range of
special events and offers provides temptation and interest for all ages whether
you're a regular visitor or one who has yet to discover the unique charm of the
Kent & East Sussex Railway
