A Day Out on the Kent & East Sussex Railway

All aboard at Tenterden Town Station

The Kent & East Sussex Railway is one of the area's most-loved attractions — a heritage steam line running from Tenterden Town Station through the Rother Valley to Bodiam, close to the National Trust's Bodiam Castle.

What to expect

Beautifully restored steam and diesel locomotives, vintage carriages, a station tea room and gift shop, and a packed calendar of special events through the year — from the Vintage Bus Rally and Hop Pickers Country Fair to Halloween trains and the ever-popular Santa Specials.

Make a day of it

Pair your trip with a wander around Tenterden's independent shops and lunch at one of the town's cafés and restaurants. Check the events calendar for what's on before you travel.
