With a station located in the village, this narrow gauge railway runs trains on a regular timetable from Hythe through to Dungeness.
The ability to ride across the Romney Marsh in a semi open carriage with smoke and steam billowing around is not to be missed by even those with little interest in railways.Train
First opened in July 1927 the 'World's Smallest Public Railway' now covers a distance of 13.5 miles from the Cinque Port Town of Hythe, to the fisherman's cottages and lighthouses at Dungeness.
New Romney Station features a buffet and a Toy and Model museum with an OO gauge model railway layout featuring trains that are computer-controlled and is a short walk from the High Street and the shops.
Dungeness offers a barren landscape with the imposing Power Station overshadowing the Lighthouses. It is possible to climb to the top of the old lighthouse for excellent views across the English Channel.
Check the RH&DR website www.rhdr.org.uk for more details of train times and the special Thomas The Tank Engine days and Santa Specials. Mothers Day and Fathers Day usually sees special events being staged as well.
