Take a trip on the steam train

Step back in time

Take a trip back in time aboard a steam train. No visit to Minehead would be complete without a trip on the West Somerset Railway. It’s England’s longest heritage line, running 20 miles between Minehead and the village of Bishops Lydeard near Taunton. The trip takes you through some of the area’s most beautiful countryside with stops at stations including Blue Anchor, Williton and Crowcombe at the foot of the Quantock Hills.
