• Students visit Woody Bay steam train

  Thu 19 Oct 2023 Connor Smith

  Sam had the privilege of taking two of our students to the Woody Bay Railway station. Being one of the only steam railways in the UK where passengers travel in Victorian railway carriages designed in the 1890s - our students were thrilled to take a step back in time and see a working steam train in action. 

   

  Many thanks to the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway staff for accommodating our students!
