The Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway
A wonderful way to see the picturesque hamlets and villages of the Cotswold countryside.
The Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway was opened in 1981 by steam enthusiasts who restored the long-closed railway line, from Stratford Racecourse to Cheltenham Racecourse, to its former glory.
Today, its steam and diesel locomotives are a major attraction and the railway offers fantastic cross-curricular learning experiences for children from reception age right up to GCSE level – all year round.
