Location Map

The Watercress Line used to be part of the national railway network during the age of the steam train and is now run by volunteers. The line, which travels between Alresford and Alton, stops at Ropley and Medstead & Four Marks along the way. Each station has been historically preserved so it is like stepping back in time. For those who want to have a go at driving a steam train there is a course available to learn how, and for real ale drinkers, there is a special Real Ale Train for you to sample Hampshire’s finest ales. There is also a dining train for something extra special.

The opportunity to hop onboard a classic steam train is one I never turn down and on my visit to Hampshire I made a point of getting on the Watercress Line. I had heard so many good things about it and thankfully they are all true. Everything looks and feels period and authentic from the loco yard to each of the four stations and, of course, the trains themselves. A grand day out was had by me and my friends.
