Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway

Are you after a day out that is a bit different? A trip out on the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway is always good fun whether you’re grown up or not. The railway uses one third full size steam and diesel locomotives and pulls both closed and open coaches on a journey across the Romney Marsh. After being brought up on Thomas the Tank Engine children are enthralled by these small steam engines and the parents also have more fun than they thought they might. There is something special about steam engines and for many children and even adults it would be their first sight of steam engine. The trains run for more than 13 miles between Hythe and Dungeness with stops at, Dymchurch, St Mary’s Bay, New Romney and Romney Sands. New Romney is the biggest and main station and features a toy and model museum that also charts the creation and use of the railway over the years. There are cafes at New Romney and Dungeness and souvenirs can be bought at the main stations. There is plenty of parking at Hythe and Dungeness. Once at Dungeness a trip up the old lighthouse is worth doing and the effort in the climb is rewarded with stunning views around the Dungeness peninsula.
