Miniature Railway The East Somerset Railway Cranmore

The East Somerset Railway is home to a miniature railway which runs alongside part of the main track. There is a small but passionate group of volunteers who maintain and run the railway as a seperate group. It is open on selected dates throughout the season and visitors are able to enjoy this for a charge. All money taken by The Miniature Railway goes direcly towards the cost of its maintenance.
