Bowes Railway

Really great first time visit to this fascinating site. Enthusiastic and very friendly volunteers are happy to tell you anything you want to know as they take you around. Will be returning to take more photos very soon!

Lovely little train museum that I brought my classes of 5-7 year old and they all had a great time. The staff were very accomadting and helped to keep the children entertained …

Went a few years back for the 1940s weekend I believe. There was loads on that day including WW2 displays and stalls, was a lovely day out. The museum side to Bowes was nice and very interesting. I would give 5 stars but unfortunately there's just not enough events on at Bowes and only open certain days.
