I visited the Launceston Steam Railway whilst on holiday in North Devon. A very interesting narrow gauge railway that operates with restored Victorian steam locomotives and coaches. It runs between Launceston and New Mills (where there is a Farm Park). Well worth a visit but note that it only runs on certain days and the gates don't open until 30 mins before the scheduled departure of the first train. Nice café and friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Went on that line when we first lived near Lanson in 2000. Kids enjoyed New Mills area. I enjoyed it all. Thanks for posting.

Glad you enjoyed it. It is just a very different railway but I don't know if it is still operating.

@@KeithTucker45 that’s so sad if it has closed. I remember them having difficulty raising funds before we left in 2016.☹️

I was hoping to visit the railway when I was staying nearby in September but, because of COVID-19, the operators had decided not to open this year. Very sad!

Quality footage of a little-known railway I have not yet visited. I will have to go for a bash next time I visit Cornwall.

It is a lovely NG railway, well preserved. Not open at the moment because of the pandemic and I would advise checking that it is operating before travelling because opening dates/times are subject to change.
